If the file does not belong to a project, that is, it's a Solution File or
Miscellaneous File, then you can't use the code model, because which engine
(C#, VB.NET, etc.) should do the job? So, the file is considered a text
file: notice that you can not outline it and you don´t have comboboxes for
code elements in the VB.NET code window, for example.

I suppose that the only workaround is to parse the source code yourself.
There must be parsers out there. Here you have a good start for VB.NET, the
VBParser of GotDotNet, with source code included:
