IDebugObject2

This interface provides additional information about an object.

IDebugObject2 : IDebugObject

Notes for Implementers

The expression evaluator implements this interface to offer support for aliases and access to information about the object.

An IDebugObject interface can obtain this interface by using QueryInterface. Also, IDebugAlias::GetObject returns this interface.

In addition to the methods on the IDebugObject interface, the IDebugObject2 interface implements the following:

Method	Description
IDebugObject2::GetBackingFieldForProperty	Gets the field or variable (if any) that may be backing the property represented by this object.
IDebugObject2::GetICorDebugValue	Gets the managed code object representing the value of this object.
IDebugObject2::CreateAlias	Creates a unique ID for this object or returns an existing alias.
IDebugObject2::GetAlias	Gets the alias associated with this object, if any.
IDebugObject2::GetField	Gets the type of this object.
IDebugObject2::IsUserData	Determines whether this object represents user data.
IDebugObject2::IsEncOutdated	Determines whether the Edit and Continue state is no longer valid. A custom expression evaluator does not implement this method (it should always return E_NOTIMPL).

See IDebugAlias for a discussion on aliases.
