IVCCollection Interface

Visual Studio 2010

An IVCCollection object contains the functionality that can be exercised on a collections object.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.dll)
C#
C++
F#
JScript
VB
Copy 
[GuidAttribute("CE4191C3-0F46-4F66-ACF2-BBFECE3B8B7B")]
public interface IVCCollection : IEnumerable

The IVCCollection type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property Count Gets a value indicating the number of objects in the collection.
Public property VCProjectEngine Gets an object pointer to the project engine.
Top
  Name Description
Public method GetEnumerator() Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection. (Inherited from IEnumerable.)
Public method GetEnumerator() Returns an enumerator for items in the collection.
Public method Item Selects an item in the collection.
Top

For example, the Files property of a VCFilter object is a collection of the files in a folder.

The following example demonstrates how to use the EnablePREfast and AdditionalOptions properties to set the /analyze:WX- switch. (Both properties are required to do this.) Specifying /analyze:WX- means that code analysis warnings will not be treated as errors when compiling with /WX. For more information, see /analyze (Enterprise Code Analysis).

To run this example, enter and run this example as outlined in How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples. Then, in the new instance of Visual Studio, load a Visual C++ project and use the Add-in Manager to activate the add-in.
