I am trying to run the following code (which I got from here). The code just creates a new "Output" pane in Visual Studio and writes a few lines to it.

Public Sub WriteToMyNewPane()
    Dim win As Window = _
       DTE.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)
    Dim ow As OutputWindow = win.Object
    Dim owPane As OutputWindowPane
    Dim cnt As Integer = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Count
    owPane = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("My New Output Pane")
    owPane.Activate()
    owPane.OutputString("My text1" & vbCrLf)
    owPane.OutputString("My text2" & vbCrLf)
    owPane.OutputString("My text3" & vbCrLf)
End Sub

Instead of running it as a Macro, I want to run it as an independent console application that connects to a currently running instance of Visual Studio 2010. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the value of DTE. I think I may need to call GetActiveObject, but I'm not sure how. Any pointers?
