  1. Set a breakpoint in your target application.

  2. Run the target application in the debug mode.

  3. When the application stops on the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void Item(DTE 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("Item Method Test");
    owp.Activate();
    EnvDTE.Languages languages = dte.Debugger.Languages;
    owp.OutputString("\nEdition of the environment: " + languages.DTE.Edition);
    owp.OutputString("\nThird language in the language collection: " + 
                     languages.Item(3).Name);
    owp.OutputString("\nThe name of the current program: " + 
                     languages.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name);
}
Shared Sub Item(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim languages As EnvDTE.Languages = dte.Debugger.Languages
    Dim str As String = vbCrLf
    str = "Edition of the environment: " + languages.DTE.Edition
    str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "Third language in the language collection: "
    str += languages.Item(3).Name
    str += vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "The name of the current program: " + _
           languages.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name
