Debugger::ExecuteStatement Method (String^, Int32, Boolean)

 

Executes the specified statement. If the TreatAsExpression flag is true, then the string is interpreted as an expression, and output is sent to the Command Window.

Namespace:   EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

void ExecuteStatement(
	String^ Statement,
	int Timeout = -1,
	bool TreatAsExpression = false
)

Parameters

Statement
Type: System::String^

The statement to execute.

Timeout
Type: System::Int32

The timeout period, in milliseconds.

TreatAsExpression
Type: System::Boolean

The treat as expression. True if the string is to be interpreted as an expression; otherwise False.

ExecuteStatement executes the specified statement. A statement differs from an expression in that a statement can consist of one or more expressions. Therefore, typically no value can be associated or returned by statement execution.

Some languages, such as Visual Basic, support a language syntax in which the context in which a statement appears indicates how the statement should be evaluated. For example, if your Visual Basic code has statement, a = 1, it is interpreted as an expression if the code appears inside an If...Then statement. For more information, see If...Then...Else Statement (Visual Basic). In that case, it is interpreted as a statement if it appears alone on a line. The expression tests a against the value of 1; the statement sets a equal to 2. See the Example below.

Output from this method is sent to the Command window.

The following example demonstrates how to use the ExecuteStatement method.
