Remarks

The VCCodeModel object provides code model functionality to various languages supported by Visual Studio (including Visual C++) at the project level.

Primarily, this object is used to find any code element accessible within a project (given a fully-qualified name). In addition, the object specifies the programming language in which the project is written.

Note

A large part of the functionality of this object is provided by the Visual Studio CodeModel2 object.

When using a VCCodeModel object within a managed project, include Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll as a reference. For more information about adding references to a managed project, see How to: Add or Remove References By Using the Add Reference Dialog Box.

See How to: Compile Example Code for Visual C++ Code Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this sample.

Examples

This function returns the VCCodeModel object representing the first project in a solution.

Function GetVCCodeModel() As VCCodeModel
    GetVCCodeModel = Nothing
    Dim codeModel As CodeModel
    Dim vcCodeModel As VCCodeModel
    Dim solution As Solution
    solution = DTE.Solution
    If (solution Is Nothing) Then
        MsgBox("A Solution is not open")
        Exit Function
    Else
        If (DTE.Solution.Count <> 0) Then
            codeModel = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
            vcCodeModel = CType(codeModel, VCCodeModel)
            If (vcCodeModel Is Nothing) Then
                MsgBox("The first project is not a VC++ project.")
                Exit Function
            Else
                GetVCCodeModel = vcCodeModel
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Function
