How to restart debug session programmatically in Visual Studio 2013 EXPRESS

I want to restart Debugging session programmatically in Visual Studio "2013 Express".

I saw some examples that can do it with EnvDTE but they are only supporting VS2010 and previous versions.

I have tried following code with different version of DTE Interface.

DTE2 myDTE = (DTE2)Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.9.0");
myDTE.ExecuteCommand("Debug.Start"); // or Debug.StartWithoutDebugging

Is there any limitation for Visual Studio 2013 Express?

Thanks. Murat.

Solution

  • I found the solution.

    GetActiveObject() should be called for Visual Studio 2013 Express ("WDExpress.DTE.12.0")

    So, correct flow is ;

    DTE2 myDTE = (DTE2)Marshal.GetActiveObject("WDExpress.DTE.12.0");
myDTE.ExecuteCommand("Debug.Start"); // or Debug.StartWithoutDebugging

    Thanks.
