Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the AddAttribute method.

public static void AddAttribute(EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte)
{
    TextSelection objTextSel;
    EnvDTE80.CodeEvent codeEvent;
    objTextSel = (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
    codeEvent = (EnvDTE80.CodeEvent)objTextSel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(vsCMElement.vsCMElementEvent);

    codeEvent.AddAttribute("Obsolete", "\"NewAttribute\", true", 1);
    string str = "";
    foreach (CodeElement ce in codeEvent.Attributes)
        str += "\n" + ce.FullName;
    MessageBox.Show("\nAddAttribute method: " +
                    str, "Testing CodeEvent");
}
