DomainModel.CreateElement Method

Visual Studio 2008

Creates an element of a specified type.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

public virtual ModelElement CreateElement(
	Partition partition,
	Type elementType,
	PropertyAssignment[] propertyAssignments
)

Parameters

partition: Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Partition
The partition where element is to be created.

elementType: Type: System.Type
A non-abstract domain class defined in the DSL Definition.

propertyAssignments: Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.PropertyAssignment[]
Specify values for the domain properties defined for the domain class.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ModelElement
The ModelElement that was created.

Remarks

This method is suitable for generated code. In ordinary programming, use the constructor of the domain class.

This example assumes the DSL Definition of the Minimal Language DSL solution template.

Examples

MyDslDomainModel dm = ...;
PropertyAssignment nameProperty = 
    new PropertyAssignment(ExampleElement.NameDomainPropertyId, "element1");
ExampleElement element = dm.CreateElement(
    dm.Store.DefaultPartition, 
    typeof(ExampleElement), 
    new PropertyAssignment[] {nameProperty}
   ) as ExampleElement;

The following example has the same effect:

ExampleElement element1 = new ExampleElement(dm.Store);
element1.Name = "element1";

.NET Framework Security
