CodeAttribute2.EndPoint Property

Gets the edit point that is the end location of the code attribute.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property EndPoint As TextPoint

'Usage
Dim instance As CodeAttribute2 
Dim value As TextPoint 

value = instance.EndPoint

TextPoint EndPoint { get; }

property TextPoint^ EndPoint {
    TextPoint^ get ();
}

function get EndPoint () : TextPoint

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.TextPoint
Returns a TextPoint object.

Implements

CodeAttribute.EndPoint

Remarks

The edit point location is immediately after the last character of the code attribute (including any semicolon, terminating syntax, or separating syntax). Fetching the property implicitly opens the source file if it can be opened.

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).

Examples

The following example creates a new namespace and attribute in the current class and lists some of the attribute's properties.

public void CreateClassAndAttrib(DTE2 applicationObject)
{
    // Before running, load or create a project.
    FileCodeModel2 fcm2 = GetFileCodeModel(applicationObject);
    CodeAttribute2 cmAttribute;
    CodeClass2 cmClass;
    String msg = null;

    if (fcm2 != null)
    {
        CodeNamespace cmNamespace;
        // Try to create a new namespace.
        try
        {
            cmNamespace = fcm2.AddNamespace("CMNamespace", -1);
            // If successful, create the other code elements.
            if (cmNamespace != null)
            {
                cmClass = (CodeClass2)cmNamespace.AddClass("ANewClass", 
                -1, null, null, vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPrivate);
                cmAttribute = (CodeAttribute2)cmClass.AddAttribute
                ("NewAttribute", "AttributeValue", -1);
                msg += "Arguments: " + cmAttribute.Arguments + 
                Environment.NewLine;
                msg += "Count: " + cmAttribute.Children.Count + 
                Environment.NewLine;
                msg += "Endpoint Location: " + 
                cmAttribute.EndPoint.DisplayColumn + 
                Environment.NewLine;
                MessageBox.Show(msg);                       
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Cannot continue - no filecodemodel 
                available.");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("ERROR: " + ex);
        }
    }
}

public FileCodeModel2 GetFileCodeModel(DTE2 applicationObject)
{
    // Returns the FileCodeModel object of the active 
    // window.
    TextWindow txtWin = 
    (TextWindow)applicationObject.ActiveWindow.Object;
    FileCodeModel2 fcm2;
    if (txtWin != null)
    {
        try
        {
             fcm2 = (FileCodeModel2)txtWin.Parent.
             ProjectItem.FileCodeModel;
             return fcm2;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
             MessageBox.Show("ERROR: " + ex);
             return null;
        }
    }
    else
        return null;
}
