CodeElement2::IsCodeType Property

Visual Studio 2015

Gets whether or not a CodeType object can be obtained from the CodeElement2 object.

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

Syntax

property bool IsCodeType {
	bool get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

A boolean value that is true if a CodeType object can be obtained from the CodeElement object; otherwise, false.

Implements

CodeElement::IsCodeType

Remarks

If it is true, then you can query interface or cast it to a CodeType object. This is true when Kind is vsCMElementClass, vsCMElementInterface, vsCMElementDelegate, vsCMElementStruct, or vsCMElementEnum.

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).

Examples

    Dim item As ProjectItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem
    Dim sb As New StringBuilder

    RecurseElements(item.FileCodeModel.CodeElements, 0, sb)

    MsgBox(item.Name & " contains the following elements:" & vbCrLf & _
        vbCrLf & sb.ToString())

    ByVal level As Integer, ByVal sb As StringBuilder)

    Dim elem As CodeElement
