Remarks

Used to determine how the debugger will debug based on the code. This corresponds to the Attach to Process window.

An Engine object is used to specify what type of programs are intended to be debugged in a given process. For example, if you want to debug only managed code inside a process, attach to the process using the "Common Language Runtime" debugging engine. If you want to debug both managed and unmanaged parts of a process, attach with the "Interop COM+" engine.

Properties

AttachResult	Gets a result indicating whether an attached engine failed or not.
Collection	Gets the Engines collection.
DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object.
ID	Gets the ID GUID of the debugging engine.
Name	Gets the name of the Engine object.
Parent	Gets the immediate parent object of a Engine object.
