Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextManager::NavigateToLineAndColumn(
   [in] IVsTextBuffer* pBuffer,
   [in] REFGUID guidDocViewType,
   [in] long iStartRow,
   [in] CharIndex iStartIndex,
   [in] long iEndRow,
   [in] CharIndex iEndIndex
);

To use this method, pass in a pointer to a text buffer and a line/column position in that buffer. The method then locates the buffer, displays a view if the view is not currently active, and then places selection at the specified span of text.
