Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Attach method.

To test this method

  1. Run the target application in the nondebug mode. Make sure that the application contains an infinite loop.

  2. Run the add-in.

  3. Set the breakpoint inside the infinite loop.

public static void Attach(DTE dte)
{
    EnvDTE.Processes processes = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses;
    foreach(EnvDTE.Process proc in processes)
        if(proc.Name.IndexOf("Target.exe") != -1)
            proc.Attach();
}
Shared Sub Attach(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim processes As EnvDTE.Processes = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses
    For Each proc As EnvDTE.Process In processes
        If proc.Name.IndexOf("Target.exe") <> -1 Then
            proc.Attach()
        End If
    Next
End Sub
