Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Break method.
To test this method:
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(EnvDTE80.DTE2 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("Break Method
Test");
owp.Activate();
EnvDTE80.Debugger2 debugger = (EnvDTE80.Debugger2)dte.Debugger;
debugger.Break(false);
owp.OutputString("The process is paused. Examine the values of
variables.");
