The
Debugger2 object is used to interrogate and manipulate the state of the debugger and the program being debugged. The
Debugger2 object supersedes the
Debugger object.

Remarks
The debugger is available through the DTE2 object via its Debugger property, as shown in the example below. One debugger object is available for each instance of the development environment.
Example
