abstract member AddIDLLibrary : string * obj * obj -> Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeIDLLibrary

Public Function AddIDLLibrary (Name As String, Location As Object, Optional Position As Object) As VCCodeIDLLibrary

Parameters

Name: String

Required. Specifies the name of the new library.

Location: Object

Required. The path or file name of the .idl file to be modified. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddIDLLibrary(String, Object, Object) fails.

Position: Object

Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.Since collections begin their count at one, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Returns

VCCodeIDLLibrary

A VCCodeIDLLibrary object.

Attributes: DispIdAttribute

Examples

Sub AddIDLLibrary()  
    Dim codeModel As VCCodeModel  
    codeModel = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel  
    Dim idlLibrary As VCCodeIDLLibrary  
    idlLibrary = codeModel.AddIDLLibrary("MyLibrary", "Project.idl", -1)  
End Sub
