Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Parent property.

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

    EnvDTE100.Expression2 exp = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", true, 1);  
    owp.OutputString("The name of the current program: " + exp.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name);  
}

Shared Sub Parent(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)  
    Dim exp As EnvDTE100.Expression2 = dte.Debugger.GetExpression("tempC", True, 1)  
    MessageBox.Show("The name of the current program: " + _  
                    exp.Parent.CurrentProgram.Name, _  
                    "Expression Test - Parent Property")  
End Sub

Remarks

The Parent property returns the immediate parent to the Expression2 object. If you want to get the containing collection, then use the Collection property.
