Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use Debugger object.

Imports EnvDTE  
Imports System.Diagnostics  

Public Module Module1  
    ' This function returns true if the debugger is actively debugging.  

    Function IsDebugging() As Boolean  
        Dim debugger As EnvDTE.Debugger  
        debugger = DTE.Debugger  

        If (debugger Is Nothing) Then  
            MsgBox("Debugger doesn't exist! Fatal error.")  
            IsDebugging = false  
        Else  
            IsDebugging = (debugger.CurrentMode <> dbgDebugMode.dbgDesignMode)  
        End If  
    End Function  
End Module  

// The following small C++ program can be run from the command line.  
// It detects whether an instance of Visual Studio is currently   
// running,and if so, prints a message stating whether its debugger  
// is actively debugging.  

#include <stdio.h>  
#import "dte.olb" raw_interfaces_only named_guids  

using namespace EnvDTE;  

int main(void)  
{  
    int nRet = 0;  

    CoInitialize(NULL);  

    IUnknownPtr pUnk;  
    GetActiveObject(CLSID_DTE, NULL, &pUnk);  

    if (pUnk == NULL) {  
        printf ("No instance of Visual Studio is running.\n");  
    }  
    else {  
        _DTEPtr pDTE = pUnk;  
        if (pDTE) {  
            DebuggerPtr pDebugger;  
            if (SUCCEEDED(pDTE->get_Debugger(&pDebugger)) && pDebugger != NULL){  
                dbgDebugMode mode;  
                if (SUCCEEDED(pDebugger->get_CurrentMode(&mode))) {  
                    if (mode != dbgDesignMode) {  
                        printf("Debugger is active.\n");  
                        nRet = 1;  
                    }  
                    else {  
                        printf("Debugger is not active.\n");  
                    }  
                }  
            }  
        }  
    }  

    CoUninitialize();  

    return nRet;  
}  

Remarks

The debugger is available through the DTE object by way of its Debugger property, as shown in the example below. One debugger object is available for each instance of the development environment.
