CodeFunction2.MustImplement Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not the item is declared abstract and thus requires an implementation.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property MustImplement As Boolean
bool MustImplement { get; set; }
property bool MustImplement {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}
abstract MustImplement : bool with get, set
function get MustImplement () : boolean 
function set MustImplement (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: Boolean
A Boolean that is true if the method is declared abstract and thus requires an implementation; otherwise, false.

Remarks

MustImplement returns or sets whether the method is implemented or requires an implementation in subclasses. Note that for some languages this might always be false, and that setting MustImplement might fail, depending on the language.

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
