The following example demonstrates how to use the Collection property.

To test this property

  • Open the target project and run the add-in.
public static void Collection(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("Collection Property Test");
    owp.Activate();

    EnvDTE.Process process = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses.Item(1);
    owp.OutputString("Number of items in the process collection is " + 
        process.Collection.Count + ": ");
    foreach(EnvDTE.Process proc in process.Collection)
        owp.OutputString("\n" + proc.Name + "  ");
}
Shared Sub Collection(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim process As EnvDTE.Process = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses.Item(1)
    Dim str As String = vbCrLf
    str = "There are " + process.Collection.Count.ToString()
    str += " items in the process collection: "
    For Each proc As EnvDTE.Process In process.Collection
        str += vbCrLf + proc.Name + "  "
    Next
    MessageBox.Show(str, "Process Test - Collection Property")
End Sub
