Thread.Collection Property

Gets the collection that contains the object that supports this property or that is contained in this code construct. Returns null for an object that is not obtained from a collection.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Collection As Threads

Threads Collection { get; }

property Threads^ Collection {
    Threads^ get ();
}

abstract Collection : Threads

function get Collection () : Threads

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.Threads
A Threads collection.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Collection property.

To test this property

1. Set the breakpoint inside the worker thread callback method.

2. Run the target application in the debug mode.

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

public static void TestThreadProperties(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("Thread Test");
    owp.Activate();

    EnvDTE.Threads threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads;
    owp.OutputString("\nNumber of items in the Thread collection: " + 
                     threads.Item(1).Collection.Count + "\n");
    foreach(EnvDTE.Thread thread in threads)
    {
        owp.OutputString("\nThread: " + thread.ID + "  Name: " + thread.Name);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Edition of the environment : " + thread.DTE.Edition);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is alive                   : " + thread.IsAlive);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is frozen                  : " + thread.IsFrozen);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Location                   : " + thread.Location);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Parent's current mode      : " + thread.Parent.CurrentMode);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Priority                   : " + thread.Priority);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Program name               : " + thread.Program.Name);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Number of stack frames     : " + thread.StackFrames.Count);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Suspended number of times  : " + thread.SuspendCount);
    }
}

Shared Sub ThreadProperties(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim str As String
    Dim threads As EnvDTE.Threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads
    str = "Number of items in the Thread collection: " + _
          threads.Item(1).Collection.Count.ToString()
