Process3.Attach2 Method

Similar to Attach, causes the debugger to attach this process, except that it allows you to specify an engine or set of engines.

Namespace:  EnvDTE90
Assembly:  EnvDTE90 (in EnvDTE90.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Attach2 ( _
    Engines As Object _
)
void Attach2(
    Object Engines
)
void Attach2(
    [InAttribute] Object^ Engines
)
abstract Attach2 : 
        Engines:Object -> unit
function Attach2(
    Engines : Object
)

Parameters

Remarks

Attach2 allows you to attach to a process using a specific debugging engine or set of engines. The Engines parameter can be a single BSTR, a collection of BSTRs, a single Engine object or a collection of Engine objects. If you specify it as a BSTR, the first few characters of the engine name or its ID (GUID) can be supplied. The list of engines is specific to a given Transport.

Examples

' Macro code.
' The examples below illustrate how to attach to default, local, and 
' remote processes.
