Property Value

Type: System::String^

A string value representing the target of the code attribute.

System_CAPS_noteNote

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).

The following example creates a new namespace and attribute in the current class and lists some of the attribute's properties.

Copy 
public void CreateClassAndAttrib(DTE2 applicationObject)

    // Before running, load or create a project.

            // If successful, create the other code elements.
