Breakpoints.DTE Property

Returns the top-level extensibility object.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property DTE As DTE

DTE DTE { get; }

property DTE^ DTE {
    DTE^ get ();
}

abstract DTE : DTE with get

function get DTE () : DTE

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.DTE
A DTE object.

Remarks

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. Open the target project and run the add-in.

public static void DTE(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("DTE Property Test: ");
    owp.Activate();

    // dte is a reference to the DTE object passed to you by the
    // OnConnection method that you implement when you create an add-in.
    EnvDTE.Debugger debugger = (EnvDTE.Debugger)dte.Debugger;
    debugger.Breakpoints.Add("","Target001.cs", 13, 1, "", 
                             EnvDTE.dbgBreakpointConditionType.dbgBreakpointConditionTypeWhenTrue, 
                             "C#","", 0, "", 0, EnvDTE.dbgHitCountType.dbgHitCountTypeNone);
    debugger.Breakpoints.Add("","Target001.cs", 15, 1, "", 
                             EnvDTE.dbgBreakpointConditionType.dbgBreakpointConditionTypeWhenTrue, 
                             "C#","", 0, "", 0, EnvDTE.dbgHitCountType.dbgHitCountTypeNone);

    owp.OutputString("\nNumber of Breakpoints: " + debugger.Breakpoints.Count);
    owp.OutputString("\nEdition of the environment: " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.DTE.Edition);
    owp.OutputString("\nParent's Current Mode: " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.Parent.CurrentMode);
    owp.OutputString("\nFirst breakpoint is on line " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).FileLine + ".");
    owp.OutputString("\nSecond breakpoint is on line " + 
                     debugger.Breakpoints.Item(2).FileLine + ".");
}
