In Visual Studio, the DTE object is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application".

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DTE property.

To test this property:

1. Set a breakpoint in the target application.

2. Run the add-in.

public static void DTE(EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte)
{
    // Setup debug Output window.
    Window w = (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("DTE property: ");
    owp.Activate();

    //dte is a reference to the DTE2 object passed to you by the
    //OnConnection method that you implement when you create an Add-in.
    DTE DTEProp = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).DTE;
    owp.OutputString("Edition of the environment: " + DTEProp.Edition);
}
