Remarks

A code element can be any fragment of code, but generally, there is a CodeElement object for each definition or declarative syntax in a language. This means that for most top-level definitions or declarations in a file, or for any syntactic form in a class definition, and so forth, there is a corresponding CodeElement object.

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).

Properties

Children	Returns a collection of objects contained within this CodeElement.

DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object.
EndPoint	Gets the text point that is the location of the end of the code item.
Extender[String]	Gets the requested Extender if it is available for this CodeElement object.
ExtenderCATID	Gets the Extender category ID (CATID) for the object.
ExtenderNames	Gets a list of available Extenders for the object.
FullName	Gets a fully-qualified name of the specified code element.
InfoLocation	Gets the capabilities of the code model.
IsCodeType	Indicates whether or not a CodeType object can be obtained from the CodeElement object.
Kind	Gets an enumeration that defines the type of object.
Language	Gets the programming language that is used to author the code.
Name	Sets or gets the name of the object.
ProjectItem	Gets the ProjectItem object associated with the CodeElement object.
StartPoint	Gets a TextPoint object that defines the beginning of the code item.

Methods
