This is probably coming a little bit late, but I've found a solution at http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1226891&page=164. Since I am using Visual Studio 2010, I made a few minor changes. You have to reference the EnvDTE and EnvDTE100 (EnvDTE90 for VS2008),

string solutionDirectory = ((EnvDTE.DTE)System.Runtime
                                              .InteropServices
                                              .Marshal
                                              .GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.10.0"))
                                   .Solution
                                   .FullName;
solutionDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(solutionDirectory);

Of course I used VisualStudio.DTE.10.0, you should probably use VisualStudio.DTE.9.0.

Good luck!
