Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the File property.

To test this property:

1. Set a breakpoint in the target application.

2. Run the add-in.

public static void File(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("File Property Test: ");
    owp.Activate();

    // dte is a reference to the DTE object passed to you by the
    // OnConnection method that you implement when you create an add-in.
    EnvDTE.Debugger debugger = (EnvDTE.Debugger)dte.Debugger;
    owp.OutputString("Breakpoint in the file " + debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).File);
    owp.OutputString(" on line " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FileLine.ToString() + " column ");
    owp.OutputString(debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FileColumn.ToString() + " is ");
    owp.OutputString(debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).Enabled ? "enabled." : "disabled.");
    owp.OutputString("\nThis breakpoint is in the function: " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FunctionName);
}

Shared Sub File(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim strFile As String
    Dim strFileLine As String
    Dim strFileColumn As String
    Dim strEnabled As String
    Dim boolEnabled As Boolean

    dte.Debugger.StepInto(True)
    dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Add("", "Target001.cs", 15, 1, "", _
                                 EnvDTE.dbgBreakpointConditionType.dbgBreakpointConditionTypeWhenTrue, _
                                 "C#", "", 0, "", 0, EnvDTE.dbgHitCountType.dbgHitCountTypeNone)
    strFile = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).File.ToString()
    strFileLine = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FileLine.ToString()
    strFileColumn = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FileColumn.ToString()
    boolEnabled = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).Enabled
    If boolEnabled = True Then
        strEnabled = "enabled"
    Else
        strEnabled = "disabled"
    End If

    MessageBox.Show("Breakpoint in the file " + strFile + vbCrLf + _
                    "on line " + strFileLine + " column " + strFileColumn + _
                    " is " + strEnabled + ".")
End Sub
