Within that article I mentioned there are 2 examples which should help you out. The first is regarding the VSSItems collection which can be searched to determine if a particular item is a project or a file. Once you have a project item you can look at its Checkouts collection to see all items which are checked out within the project item.

The 2 sections are :

Items([IncludeDeleted As Boolean]) As IVSSItems
CheckOuts As IVSSCheckOuts (Read-only)

Hope this helps,
