public: virtual ModelElement^ CreateElement( Partition^ partition, Type^ elementType, array<PropertyAssignment^>^ propertyAssignments )
Parameters
- partition

Type:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling::Partition^
The partition where element is to be created.
- elementType
-
Type:
System::Type^
A non-abstract domain class defined in the DSL Definition.

Type:
array<Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling::PropertyAssignment^>^
Specify values for the domain properties defined for the domain class.
This method is suitable for generated code. In ordinary programming, use the constructor of the domain class.
This example assumes the DSL Definition of the Minimal Language DSL solution template.
MyDslDomainModel dm = ...;
PropertyAssignment nameProperty =
new PropertyAssignment(ExampleElement.NameDomainPropertyId, "element1");
ExampleElement element = dm.CreateElement(
dm.Store.DefaultPartition,
typeof(ExampleElement),
new PropertyAssignment[] {nameProperty}
) as ExampleElement;
The following example has the same effect:
ExampleElement element1 = new ExampleElement(dm.Store); element1.Name = "element1";
