Property Value
A CodeElements collection.

Examples
Sub DerivedTypesExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
Try
' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
Dim sel As TextSelection = _

Dim cls As CodeClass = _

' Find the namespace's children.
Dim types As String
Dim elem As CodeElement
For Each elem In cls.DerivedTypes

Next

vbCrLf & vbCrLf & types)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try

// Before running this example, open a code document from a project
// and place the insertion point inside a class definition.

// Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
TextSelection sel =

string types = "";

Remarks
DerivedTypes returns a CodeElements collection of the types that derive from this CodeClass. DerivedTypes only returns types that derive from CodeClass within a single project, not across other projects or languages. If the code element is a vsCMElementInterface, then the returned collection also includes CodeClass objects that implement the interface.
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).
