CodeSnippetCompileUnit can represent a literal block of code that is included directly in the source without modification.

A CodeSnippetCompileUnit 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 Value property contains the literal code fragment as a string. The LinePragma property is optional and specifies the position of the code within a source code document.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a new instance of the CodeSnippetCompileUnit class by using a string that represents literal code.

' Creates a compile unit using a literal sring.
Dim literalCode As String
literalCode = "using System; namespace TestLiteralCode " & _
    "{ public class TestClass { public TestClass() {} } }"
Dim csu As New CodeSnippetCompileUnit(literalCode)

// Creates a compile unit using a literal sring;
string literalCode;
literalCode = "using System; namespace TestLiteralCode " + 
    "{ public class TestClass { public TestClass() {} } }";
CodeSnippetCompileUnit csu = new CodeSnippetCompileUnit( literalCode );            

// Creates a compile unit using a literal sring;
String^ literalCode;
literalCode = "using System; namespace TestLiteralCode " +
   "{ public class TestClass { public TestClass() {} } }";
CodeSnippetCompileUnit^ csu = gcnew CodeSnippetCompileUnit( literalCode );
