Examples

The following example demonstrates use of a CodeMemberMethod to declare a method that accepts a parameter and returns a value.

// 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

CodeMemberMethod can be used to represent the declaration for a method.

The ReturnType property specifies the data type of the method's return value. The Parameters property contains the method's parameters. The Statements property contains the statements of the method.

Constructors

CodeMemberMethod()

Initializes a new instance of the CodeMemberMethod class.

Properties
