Visual Studio 2015

Retrieves the XML source corresponding to a given member.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)

Syntax

int GetMemberXML(
	unsigned int dwId,
	[OutAttribute] String^% pbstrXML
)

dwId: Type: System::UInt32
[in] Unsigned integer. A member identifier generated by the underlying parser. Obtain the identifier from the ParseMemberSignature method.

pbstrXML: Type: System::String^
[out] Pointer to a string containing the XML source.

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

The XML is surrounded by <doc> </doc> tags, but will otherwise be the exact contents of the XML for the member specified.

Note
This method blocks until the index is completely constructed, should that be happening on another thread. The method begins the process of constructing the index if it has not yet begun (or is out of date relative to the XML file).

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsXMLMemberIndex::GetMemberXML(
   [in] DWORD_PTR dwID, 
   [out] BSTR *pbstrXML
