Remarks
The Parent property returns the immediate parent to the Process object. To get the containing collection, use the Collection property.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Parent property.
To test this property:
Set a breakpoint in your target application.
Run the target application in the debug mode.
When the application stops on the breakpoint, run the add-in.
public static void Parent(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("Parent Property Test");
owp.Activate();
owp.OutputString("\nEdition of the environment: " +
dte.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses.Item(1).DTE.Edition);
owp.OutputString("\nThe name of the current program: " +
dte.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses.Item(1).Name);
owp.OutputString("\nThe name of the current program: " +
dte.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses.Item(1).Parent.CurrentProgram.Name);
owp.OutputString("\nProcess ID: " +
dte.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses.Item(1).ProcessID);
EnvDTE.Programs programs =
dte.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses.Item(1).Programs;
owp.OutputString("\nThe name of the current program: " +
programs.Item(1).Name);
}
Shared Sub Parent(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
