IVCCollection Interface

Definition

An IVCCollection object contains the functionality that can be exercised on a collections object.

public interface class IVCCollection : System::Collections::IEnumerable
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("EF0EF512-4AB7-4EEC-91D1-9E5E222EED81")]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibType(System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibTypeFlags.FDispatchable | System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibTypeFlags.FDual)]
public interface IVCCollection : System.Collections.IEnumerable
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("EF0EF512-4AB7-4EEC-91D1-9E5E222EED81")>]
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibType(System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibTypeFlags.FDispatchable | System.Runtime.InteropServices.TypeLibTypeFlags.FDual)>]

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the EnablePREfast and AdditionalOptions properties to set the /analyze:WX- switch. (Both properties are required to do this.) Specifying /analyze:WX- means that code analysis warnings will not be treated as errors when compiling with /WX. For more information, see /analyze (Code Analysis).

Remarks

For example, the Files property of a VCFilter object is a collection of the files in a folder.

Properties

Gets a value indicating the number of objects in the collection.

VCProjectEngine

Gets an object pointer to the project engine.

Methods

GetEnumerator()

Returns an enumerator for items in the collection.

Item(Object)

Selects an item in the collection.
