Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DTE property.

To test this property:

1. Set a breakpoint in your target application.

2. Run the target application in the debug mode.

3. When the application stops on the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void ThreadsDTE(DTE dte)
{
    EnvDTE.Threads threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads;
    MessageBox.Show("\nEdition of the environment: " + 
                    threads.DTE.Edition, "Testing Threads DTE Property");
}

Shared Sub ThreadsDTEProperty(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim threads As EnvDTE.Threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads
    MessageBox.Show("Edition of the environment: " + threads.DTE.Edition, _
                    "Threads Test - DTE Property")
End Sub
