Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Access As vsCMAccess

vsCMAccess Access { get; set; }

property vsCMAccess Access {
    vsCMAccess get ();
    void set (vsCMAccess value);
}

abstract Access : vsCMAccess with get, set

function get Access () : vsCMAccess 
function set Access (value : vsCMAccess)

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess
A vsCMAccess value.

Remarks

Access returns the actual access and how other code may access this code element.

Note

This property is read-only for code elements from Visual Basic source code.

Also, 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).

Examples

Sub AccessExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a variable definition.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeVariable at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim var As CodeVariable = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementVariable), CodeVariable)

        ' Display the CodeVariable's accessibility.
        Dim access As String
        Dim varAccess As vsCMAccess = var.Access
