Note   A large part of the functionality of this object is provided by the Visual Studio CodeElement object. For more information, see CodeElement object.

Example

This example assigns a newly-added class to a VCCodeElement object.

    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
    vcCodeElement = vcCM.AddClass("MyClass", "MyClass.h")
End Sub
