ICodeGenerator.IsValidIdentifier(String) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.CodeDom.Compiler

Assembly:

System.CodeDom.dll

Source:

ICodeGenerator.cs

Gets a value that indicates whether the specified value is a valid identifier for the current language.

public:
 bool IsValidIdentifier(System::String ^ value);

public bool IsValidIdentifier (string value);

abstract member IsValidIdentifier : string -> bool

Public Function IsValidIdentifier (value As String) As Boolean

Parameters

value

String

The value to test for being a valid identifier.

Returns

Boolean

true if the value parameter is a valid identifier; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method tests whether an identifier is valid. When implementing IsValidIdentifier in a derived class, design the method to test the value passed to it, and return true only if the value fits the rules of the language and does not conflict with a keyword.
