Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Returns a value indicating whether the source element represented by the specified root ProtoElement can be added to this element.
protected:
override bool CanMerge(Microsoft::VisualStudio::Modeling::ProtoElementBase ^ rootElement, Microsoft::VisualStudio::Modeling::ElementGroupPrototype ^ elementGroupPrototype);
protected override bool CanMerge (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ProtoElementBase rootElement, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ElementGroupPrototype elementGroupPrototype);
override this.CanMerge : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ProtoElementBase * Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ElementGroupPrototype -> bool
Protected Overrides Function CanMerge (rootElement As ProtoElementBase, elementGroupPrototype As ElementGroupPrototype) As Boolean
Parameters
- rootElement
- ProtoElementBase
The root ProtoElement representing a source element. This can be null, in which case the ElementGroupPrototype does not contain an ProtoElements and the code should inspect the ElementGroupPrototype context information.
- elementGroupPrototype
- ElementGroupPrototype
The ElementGroupPrototype that contains the root ProtoElement.
Returns
true if the source element represented by the ProtoElement can be added to this target element.
Remarks
Override because we must ask the extended MEL whether it will accept the merge of ExtensionElements. This is necessary to allow us to refuse merges of MEXs that would create ambiguous roles or properties.
