Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

    Engines As Object _
)

void Attach2(
    Object Engines

void Attach2(

  Type: System.Object
  A Engines collection.

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 specified as a BSTR, the first few chars of the engine name or it's ID (GUID) can be supplied. The list of engines is specific to a given Transport.
