Use the infinite loop in the target application code.
Run the target application in the debug mode.
You cannot examine any values of variables while the target is running.
Run the add-in.
Examine the values of variables.
public static void Break(DTE dte)
{
// Setup the 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("Break Method Test");
owp.Activate();
dte.Debugger.Break(false);
owp.OutputString("The process is paused. Examine the values of variables.");
}
Shared Sub Break(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
dte.Debugger.Break(False)
