[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(1)]
public EnvDTE.Expression GetExpression (string ExpressionText, bool UseAutoExpandRules = false, int Timeout = -1);
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(1)>]
abstract member GetExpression : string * bool * int -> EnvDTE.Expression
Public Function GetExpression (ExpressionText As String, Optional UseAutoExpandRules As Boolean = false, Optional Timeout As Integer = -1) As Expression

Parameters

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use M:EnvDTE.Debugger.GetExpression(System.String,System.Boolean,System.Int32) property.

Sub DisplayExpression(Optional ByVal str As String = "")  
    Dim expr As Expression  
    expr = DTE.Debugger.GetExpression(str)  

    If (expr.IsValidValue) Then  
        MsgBox(expr.Name + " = " + expr.Value)  
    Else  
        MsgBox("Expression was not valid")  
    End If  

End Sub  

Remarks

GetExpression evaluates an expression based on the current stack frame. If the expression can be parsed but not evaluated, an object is returned but will not contain a valid value.
