Gets the parent object of the delegate, namely a CodeElement2 object.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.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 is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application".

Examples

Before running this example, load a project with a class and insert the following line along with the example code. After both the line and the example code are added, click the Delegate line to place the insertion point there, and then run the example.

[VisualBasic]

Delegate Sub MySubDelegate(ByVal x As Integer)

[C#]

public delegate void MySubDelegate(int x);
