CodeClass2.AddProperty Method

Creates a new property construct in the class.

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

Syntax

'Declaration

    GetterName As String, _
    PutterName As String, _
    Type As Object, _
    Position As Object, _
    Access As vsCMAccess, _
    Location As Object _
) As CodeProperty
CodeProperty AddProperty(

abstract AddProperty : 
        GetterName:string * 
        PutterName:string * 
        Type:Object * 
        Position:Object *

        Location:Object -> CodeProperty
function AddProperty(
    GetterName : String, 
    PutterName : String, 
    Type : Object, 
    Position : Object, 
    Access : vsCMAccess, 
    Location : Object
) : CodeProperty

Parameters

  • GetterName
    Type: System.String

    Required. The name of the function that gets the property's value.

  • PutterName
    Type: System.String

    Required. The name of the function that sets the property.

  • Position
    Type: System.Object

    Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element.

    If the value is a Long data type, then the Position method indicates the element after which to add the new element.

    Because collections begin their count at 1, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

  • Location
    Type: System.Object

    Optional. Location of the new function.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeProperty
A CodeProperty object.

Remarks

Native Visual C++ requires the colon-separated (::) format for its fully qualified type names. All other languages support the period-separated format.

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model.

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

[Visual Basic]

Sub AddPropertyExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim cls As CodeClass = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass)

        ' Create a new member property.
        cls.AddProperty("TestProperty", "TestProperty", _
            vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefInt)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

[C#]

public void AddPropertyExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    // and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    try
    {
        // Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        TextSelection sel = 
            (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeClass cls = 
            (CodeClass)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass);

        // Create a new member property.
        cls.AddProperty("TestProperty", "TestProperty", 
            vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefInt, -1, 
            vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic, null);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
