CodeGenerator Class

Provides an example implementation of the ICodeGenerator interface. This class is abstract.

Namespace: System.CodeDom.Compiler
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
Public MustInherit Class CodeGenerator _
    Implements ICodeGenerator

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As CodeGenerator

[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public abstract class CodeGenerator : ICodeGenerator

Visual C++

[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
public ref class CodeGenerator abstract : ICodeGenerator

JScript

public abstract class CodeGenerator implements ICodeGenerator

Remarks

This is a useful base class for code generators to derive from. Code generators are capable of rendering source code in a specific language according to the structure of a Code Document Object Model (CodeDOM) graph. This class provides many functions and methods to generate specific types of code from a CodeDOM graph.

Note:
This class contains a link demand and an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when either the immediate caller or the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For details about security demands, see Link Demands and Inheritance Demands.

.NET Framework Security

SecurityAction..::.LinkDemand
for full trust for the immediate caller. This class cannot be used by partially trusted code.
SecurityAction..::.InheritanceDemand
for full trust for inheritors. This class cannot be inherited by partially trusted code.

Inheritance Hierarchy

System..::.Object
System.CodeDom.Compiler..::.CodeGenerator
System.CodeDom.Compiler..::.CodeCompiler

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
