Remarks
True
if a CodeType object can be obtained, otherwise returns False
. If it is True
, then you can query interface or cast it to a CodeType object. This is true when Kind is vsCMElementClass, vsCMElementInterface, vsCMElementDelegate, vsCMElementStruct, or vsCMElementEnum.
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.
