Examples

[C#]

public void CodeClass2ParentExample(DTE2 dte2)  
{  
    // Before running this example, open a code document from a project  
    // and place the insertion point within a class definition.  
    try  
    {   // Get the CodeClass2 at the insertion point.  
        TextSelection sel =   
        (TextSelection)dte2.ActiveDocument.Selection;  
        CodeClass2 cls = (CodeClass2)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(  
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass);  
        // Get the parent object.  
        CodeElement ce = (CodeElement)cls.Parent;  
        MessageBox.Show(ce.Name.ToString());  
    }  
    catch (Exception e)  
    {  
        MessageBox.Show(e.Message);  
    }  
}  

Remarks

The Parent property returns the immediate parent to the class. If you want to get the containing collection, then use the Collection property.

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).
