CodeSnippetTypeMember can represent a member of a type using a literal code fragment that is included directly in the source without modification. This code can be included in the type declaration.

A CodeSnippetTypeMember stores a section of code, exactly in its original format, as a string. The CodeDOM does not translate literal code fragments. Literal code fragments are stored and output in their original format. CodeDOM objects that contain literal code are provided so developers can encapsulate code that is already in the target language.

The Text property contains the literal code for the type member.

The following example demonstrates the use of the CodeSnippetTypeMember class to store literal code in a string format. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the GenerateCodeFromMember method.


static void GenCodeFromMember(CodeDomProvider provider, CodeGeneratorOptions options)
{
    options.BracingStyle = "C";
    CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();
    method1.Name = "ReturnString";
    method1.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public;
    method1.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference("System.String");
    method1.Parameters.Add(new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text"));
    method1.Statements.Add(new CodeMethodReturnStatement(new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text")));
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    provider.GenerateCodeFromMember(method1, sw, options);
    snippetMethod = new CodeSnippetTypeMember(sw.ToString());
}
