I want insert a custom snippet into an XML file from code within an extension package.
Does anybody know how to get an IVsExpansion object when I have an IWpfTextView, ITextBuffer or ITextDocument?

Can somebody help me please?
Did you also post this the other day on the MSDN VS Extensibility forum? If so I answered there with a possible approach (I haven’t tried it and I am not an editor dev):

In short I believe you can use the IVsEditorAdapterFactoryService to map from ITextBuffer -> IVsTextBuffer, and MSDN says IVsExpansion is implemented by the same object that implements IVsTextBuffer so if you cast the IVsTextBuffer to IVsExpansion it should succeed.
