Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DTE property.

To test this property:

1. Set a breakpoint in the target application.

2. Run the add-in.

public static void DTE(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("DTE property: ");
    owp.Activate();

    //dte is a reference to the DTE2 object passed to you by the
    //OnConnection method that you implement when you create an Add-in.
    DTE DTEProp = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).DTE;
    owp.OutputString("Edition of the environment: " + DTEProp.Edition);
}
