'Declaration
ReadOnly Property DTE As DTE

    DTE^ get ();

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.DTE
A DTE object.

Remarks

In Visual Studio, the DTE object is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application".

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DTE property.

To test this property:

1. Set a breakpoint in the target application.

2. Run the add-in.

public static void DTE(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("DTE Property Test: ");
    owp.Activate();

    // dte is a reference to the DTE object passed to you by the
    // OnConnection method that you implement when you create an add-in.
    DTE DTEProp = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).DTE ;
    owp.OutputString("Edition of the environment: " + DTEProp.Edition);
}

' Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the application in the 
' debug mode.When the program stops at the breakpoint, run the add-in. 
Shared Sub DTEProperty(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim DTEProp As DTE
    DTEProp = dte.Debugger.Breakpoints.Item(1).DTE
    MessageBox.Show("Edition of the environment: " + DTEProp.Edition)
End Sub
