CodeParameter2::Children Property

 

Gets a collection of objects contained within this code construct.

Namespace:   EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

property CodeElements^ Children {
	CodeElements^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE::CodeElements^

A CodeElements collection.

If an object has no children, then Nothing or null is returned.

This property is used primarily by Visual C++. Children returns every object returnable from a code element. A class, for example, returns members, bases, implemented interfaces, attributes, comments, and so forth.

To iterate through the members of a namespace or type (class, struct, interface, and so forth), you must QI (query interface) or cast the CodeElement to a CodeNamespace and then use the Members property.

The Children property may return Nothing or null depending on the object and the language. There is no requirement to support this in Visual Studio.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same.
