Sorry you don't need this namespace, the code should compile without it.

It wasn't working with .Net 4.5. I think you created with .Net ver > 4.6 when I saw this dte**?.**Debugger; Also the class MessageFilter was missing. I found another solution but I was also looking forward to this gist.

Sorry, I just republished a standalone version of my Debugging class including all the extensions and classes that are used. I hope it helps :).
It is indeed written in C# 6 but you can easily change to make it compatible with earlier versions.

Awesome!!
