	DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object.
	EndPoint	Gets the edit point that is the location of the end of the code item.
	EndPointOf	Returns the end point of the parent object.
	Extender	Gets the requested Extender object if it is available for this object.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddParameter	Creates a new parameter code construct and inserts the code in the correct location.
	Delete	Removes the attribute.
	GetEndPoint	Returns a TextPoint object that marks the end of the code element definition.

Remarks

The VCCodeAttribute object represents either a CLR or COM metadata attribute associated with a code element. You can add new parameters to the attribute with the AddParameter method and get and set the value of a code attribute with the VCCodeAttribute object.

Hinweis

A large part of the functionality of this object is provided by the Visual Studio VCCodeAttribute object. For more information, see CodeAttribute object.

Examples

This example displays the names of all attributes applied to the ATLProjectLib library. It is assumed that the ATLProjectLib library exists.

    Sub GetAttributes()
        Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel
        Dim vcLibrary As VCCodeIDLLibrary
        Dim vcAttribute As VCCodeAttribute
        Dim i As Integer
        vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
        vcLibrary = vcCM.IDLLibraries.Find("ATLProjectLib")
        For i = 1 To vcLibrary.Attributes.Count
            vcAttribute = vcLibrary.Attributes.Item(i)
            MsgBox(vcAttribute.DisplayName)
        Next
    End Sub
