Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsObjectList::GoToSource(
   [in] ULONG Index,
   [in] VSOBJGOTOSRCTYPE SrcType
);

The environment calls GoToSource when the user invokes GoToDefinition, GoToDeclaration, or GoToReference commands provided CanGoToSource returned true. You must navigate to the source for the item, coordinating with your project system, the running document table, and the text editor to actually open the containing source file and navigate to the appropriate line. Also open the appropriate editor's navigation context so that editor's back/forward navigation functions correctly.
