Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll)

CodeAttribute^ AddAttribute(
	String^ Name,
	Object^ Location,
	String^ Value,
	Object^ Position
)

Parameters

Name
Type: System::String^

Required. The name of the new attribute.

Location
Type: System::Object^

Required. The path and file name for the new attribute. Depending on the language, the file name is either relative or absolute to the project file. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddAttribute fails.

Value
Type: System::String^

Required. The value of the attribute, which may be a comma-separated list of parameters for a parameterized property.

Position
Type: System::Object^

Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

If the value is a Long data type, then AddAttribute indicates the element after which to add the new element.

Because collections begin their count at 1, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE::CodeAttribute^

A CodeAttribute object.

If the attribute already exists, AddAttribute adds another. This might be incorrect for the attribute or the language behind the code model.
