LanguageService GUID in IVsDebugger.InsertBreakpointByName()

Question

Hi,

I want to call this API

IVsDebugger.InsertBreakpointByName()

but I don't know what value I should use for the first parameter.  The doc says it's "The GUID for the language service such as SID_SVisualBasicLangService.". But I cannot find where SID_SVisualBasicLangService is defined. Anyway, what I need is the GUID for Visual C++.

Thanks !

Hi Cole,

After looking at the example code, I just used a new random GUID as parameter for the function and it works.  That does not seem right as the API doc says it should be GUID of a language service. Maybe just the implementation is very tolerant :)

Anyway, that at least served my need.  Thanks !
