Syntax

'Declaration
Property Value As String

string Value { get; set; }

property String^ Value {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

abstract Value : string with get, set

function get Value () : String 
function set Value (value : String)

Property Value

Type: System.String
A string representing the value of the object.

Remarks

If an attribute is in the form name(someval, 2), then the value is someval, 2.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Value 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 at the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void Value(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("Value property: ");
    owp.Activate();

    EnvDTE100.Expression2 exp = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", true, 1);
    owp.OutputString("\nThe name of the expression: " + exp.Name);
    owp.OutputString("\nThe type of the expression: " + exp.Type);
    owp.OutputString("\nThe value of the expression: " + exp.Value);
}

Shared Sub Value(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim exp As EnvDTE100.Expression2 = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", True, 1)
    Dim str As String
    str = "The name of the expression: " + exp.Name
    str += vbCrLf + "The type of the expression: " + exp.Type
    str += vbCrLf + "The value of the expression: " + exp.Value
    MessageBox.Show(str, "Expression Test - Name, Type, Value Properties")
End Sub
