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 StackFramesDTE(DTE dte)
{
    EnvDTE.StackFrames stackFrames = dte.Debugger.CurrentThread.StackFrames;
    MessageBox.Show("\nEdition of the environment: " + 
                    stackFrames.DTE.Edition, "Stack Frames DTE Property Test");
}

Shared Sub StackFramesDTE(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim stackFrames As EnvDTE.StackFrames = dte.Debugger.CurrentThread.StackFrames
    MessageBox.Show("Edition of the environment: " + _
                    stackFrames.DTE.Edition, "Stack Frame Test - DTE Property")
End Sub
