Creates a new interface code construct and inserts the code in the correct location.
Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function AddInterface ( _
Name As String, _
Position As Object, _
Bases As Object, _
Access As vsCMAccess _
) As CodeInterface
CodeInterface AddInterface(

Access:vsCMAccess -> CodeInterface
function AddInterface(
Name : String,
Position : Object,
Bases : Object,
Access : vsCMAccess
) : CodeInterface
Parameters
Name
Type: System.StringRequired. The name of the new interface.
Position
Type: System.ObjectOptional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.
If the value is a Long data type, then AddInterface 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.
Bases
Type: System.ObjectOptional. Default value is Nothing. A variant that holds a SafeArray of fully qualified type names or CodeInterface objects from which the new interface derives.
Access
Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccessOptional. A vsCMAccess constant.
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE.CodeInterface
A CodeInterface object.
Remarks
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.
Examples
Sub AddInterfaceExample2(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' Before running this example, open a code document from a project.
Try
Dim projItem As ProjectItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem

' Initialize the base interfaces array.
Dim bases() As Object = { _

ConvertFullName(cm, "System.IComparable") _
}
' Create a new class.
projItem.FileCodeModel.AddInterface("TestInterface", , bases)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
Function ConvertFullName(ByVal cm As CodeModel, _
ByVal fullName As String) As String
' Convert a .NET type name into a C++ type name.
If (cm.Language = CodeModelLanguageConstants.vsCMLanguageVC) Or _
(cm.Language = CodeModelLanguageConstants.vsCMLanguageMC) Then
Return fullName.Replace(".", "::")
Else
