 abstract System::String ^ CreateValidIdentifier(System::String ^ value);

protected abstract string CreateValidIdentifier (string value);

abstract member CreateValidIdentifier : string -> string

Protected MustOverride Function CreateValidIdentifier (value As String) As String

Parameters

value

String

A string to create a valid identifier for.

Returns

String

A valid identifier for the value.

Remarks

CreateValidIdentifier tests whether the identifier conflicts with reserved or language keywords, and if so, returns a valid identifier name that does not conflict. The returned identifier contains the same value but includes escape code formatting to differentiate it from conflicting keywords. Typically, if the value requires modification, it is preceded by an underscore "_".

Note

The default implementation of this method does nothing.
