Debugger2 Interface
The Debugger2 object is used to interrogate and manipulate the state of the debugger and the program being debugged. The Debugger2 object supersedes the Debugger object.
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax

Public Interface Debugger2 _
Inherits Debugger
'Usage
Dim instance As Debugger2
[GuidAttribute("8B5E2BFD-4642-4EFE-8AF4-0B2DA9AAA23C")]
public interface Debugger2 : Debugger
[GuidAttribute(L"8B5E2BFD-4642-4EFE-8AF4-0B2DA9AAA23C")]
public interface class Debugger2 : Debugger
public interface Debugger2 extends Debugger
Remarks
The debugger is available through the DTE2 object via its Debugger property, as shown in the example below. One debugger object is available for each instance of the development environment.
Examples

Else
IsDebugging = (debugger.CurrentMode <> _
dbgDebugMode.dbgDesignMode)
End If
End Function
