Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Parent property.
public static void Parent(DTE 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("Parent Property Test");
owp.Activate();
EnvDTE.Expression exp = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", true, 1);
owp.OutputString("The name of the current program: " + exp.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name);
}
Shared Sub Parent(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
Dim exp As EnvDTE.Expression = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", True, 1)
MessageBox.Show("The name of the current program: " + _
exp.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name, _
"Expression Test - Parent Property")
End Sub
Remarks
The Parent property returns the immediate parent to the Expression object. If you want to get the containing collection, then use the Collection property.
