Examples

[C#]

public void CodeClass2CommentExample(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);  

        // Set the header comment for the CodeClass.  
        cls.Comment = "Comment added programmatically.";  
    }  
    catch (Exception e)  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);  
    }  
}  

Remarks

Comment sets or returns the header comment for the class. Returned text does not contain any comment syntax. The text is derived from the source based on the language's comment style. For example, in C#, the comment delimiter is //, but in Visual Basic, it is either an apostrophe (') or Rem (short for remark).

When set, Comment attempts to maintain the style of any existing comment by using line-oriented versus delimited syntax. In the process, it maintains any indentation prior to line-oriented syntax by determining whether the comment touches the code element or is separated by a blank line.

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).
