Is it possible to find the .csproj file associated with a .cs file programatically using C#?

The .cs file being referred here is on TFS.

No.  A single .cs file may be contained in multiple .csproj, or no .csproj.

You could use an extension to find all of the .csproj (if any) containing a .cs file.   This would require a VS extension, though: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165336.aspx

A .cs file can be in any number of projects.    A project refers to source files, but source files do not refer to projects.    You can wander around the directories nearby looking for csproj files and then open them up searching for the cs file name you're concerned about.

The proj files are just text (XML) but you really don't even need to parse them to hunt for the file name.
