The following example demonstrates how to use the DTE property.

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 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 code.   
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  

Remarks

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