Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the CurrentStackFrame property.

To test this property:

Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the add-in.

The current stack frame is empty.
Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the target application in the debug mode. When the program stops at the breakpoint, run the add-in.

The current stack frame contains the method name and the return type.

public static void CurrentStackFrame(EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte)
{
    // Setup debug Output window.
    Window w = 
    (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("Current StackFrame 
    Test");
    owp.Activate();

    owp.OutputString("Current Stack Frame Info: ");
    EnvDTE80.Debugger2 debugger = (EnvDTE80.Debugger2)dte.Debugger;
    EnvDTE.StackFrame sf = debugger.CurrentStackFrame;
    if (sf == null)
        owp.OutputString("No program is being debugged, Stack Frame is 
        empty.");
    else
        owp.OutputString("Function " + sf.FunctionName +
                         " returns type " + sf.ReturnType);
}

Sub ShowCurrentProcess()
    ' This function displays the current debugger
    ' mode in the output window.
    Dim ow As OutputWindow
    ow = DTE2.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput).Object

    Dim proc As EnvDTE.Process2
    proc = DTE2.Debugger.CurrentProcess

    If (proc Is Nothing) Then
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("No process is being debugged")
    Else
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("" + Str(proc.ProcessID) + ": " + _
        proc.Name + vbCrLf)
    End If
End Sub
