Examples

The following example demonstrates use of a CodeMethodReturnStatement to return a value from a method.

// Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
CodeMemberMethod^ method1 = gcnew CodeMemberMethod;
method1->Name = "ReturnString";
method1->ReturnType = gcnew CodeTypeReference( "System.String" );
method1->Parameters->Add( gcnew CodeParameterDeclarationExpression( "System.String","text" ) );
method1->Statements->Add( gcnew CodeMethodReturnStatement( gcnew CodeArgumentReferenceExpression( "text" ) ) );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
//    private string ReturnString(string text) 
//    {
//        return text;
//    }

// Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();
method1.Name = "ReturnString";
method1.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference("System.String");
method1.Parameters.Add( new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text") );
method1.Statements.Add( new CodeMethodReturnStatement( new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text") ) );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

//    private string ReturnString(string text)
//    {
//        return text;
//    }

' Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
Dim method1 As New CodeMemberMethod()
method1.Name = "ReturnString"
method1.ReturnType = New CodeTypeReference("System.String")
method1.Parameters.Add(New CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text"))
method1.Statements.Add(New CodeMethodReturnStatement(New CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text")))

' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

'   Private Function ReturnString(ByVal [text] As String) As String
'       Return [Text]
'   End Function

Remarks

CodeMethodReturnStatement can be used to represent a return value statement. The Expression property specifies the value to return.
