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

Syntax

'Declaration
Function ParseMemberSignature ( _
    pszSignature As String, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef pdwID As UInteger _
) As Integer

int ParseMemberSignature(
    string pszSignature,
    out uint pdwID
)

int ParseMemberSignature(
    [InAttribute] String^ pszSignature, 
    [OutAttribute] unsigned int% pdwID
)

abstract ParseMemberSignature : 
        pszSignature:string * 
        pdwID:uint32 byref -> int

function ParseMemberSignature(
    pszSignature : String, 
    pdwID : uint
) : int

Parameters

pszSignature
Type: System.String
[in] A string containing a member signature.

pdwID
Type: System.UInt32%
[out] Unsigned integer. A member identifier generated by the underlying parser. Used in GetMemberXML.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

The method takes the signature for the method, namespace, type, field, property or event and returns an identifier. You can use this identifier later to retrieve the member's XML. The identifier remains valid throughout the lifetime of this member index object, even if the XML source file changes.

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsXMLMemberIndex::ParseMemberSignature(
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszSignature, 
   [out] DWORD_PTR *pdwID
);
