CodeStruct2::AddBase Method (Object^, Object^)

Visual Studio 2015

Adds an item to the list of inherited objects.

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

Syntax

CodeElement^ AddBase(
	Object^ Base,
	Object^ Position
)

Parameters

Base

Type: System::Object^

Required. The class from which to derive implementation.

For CodeClass objects, this is either a CodeClass or a fully qualified type name. Visual C++ requires the colon-separated (::) format for its fully qualified type names. All other languages support the period-separated format.

For CodeEnum objects, Base is a variant containing a fully qualified type name or CodeType object upon which the new enum is based. For C#, this is the underlying type of enum.

Position

Type: System::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.

If the value is a Long data type, then AddBase indicates the element after which to add the new element.

Because collections begin their count at 1, 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.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE::CodeElement^

A CodeElement object.

Implements

CodeStruct::AddBase(Object^, Object^)

Remarks

AddBase returns a CodeElement object rather than a CodeType to accommodate Visual C++. The Kind of the returned object is vsCMElementVCBase for the implementation of Visual C++.

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.
