Remarks

Note

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. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).

Examples

[Visual Basic]

Sub AttributesExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim cls As CodeClass2 = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass2)

        ' Enumerate the CodeClass's attributes.
        Dim attrs As String = ""
        Dim attr As CodeAttribute2
        For Each attr In cls.Attributes
            attrs &= attr.Name & "(" & attr.Value & ")" & vbCrLf
        Next
        MsgBox(cls.Name & " has the following attributes:" & _
            vbCrLf & vbCrLf & attrs)
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

[C#]

    // and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    try

        TextSelection sel = 
            (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeClass2 cls = 
            (CodeClass2)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass);

        // Enumerate the CodeClass's attributes.
        string attrs = "";
        foreach (CodeAttribute2 attr in cls.Attributes)
        {
            attrs += attr.Name + "(" + attr.Value + ")" + "\r\n";
        }

        MessageBox.Show(cls.Name + " has the following attributes:" +
