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

Syntax

'Declaration
Property InitExpression As Object
    Get
    Set

Object InitExpression { get; set; }

property Object^ InitExpression {
    Object^ get ();
    void set (Object^ value);
}

abstract InitExpression : Object with get, set

function get InitExpression () : Object
function set InitExpression (value : Object)

Property Value

Type: System.Object
An object defining the initialization expression for the code variable.

Remarks

The value must be a string or a CodeElement for an expression object. When setting this to a string, the implementation of the property inserts any required syntax, such as equal signs or semicolons, if the variable does not already have an initialization expression.

Depending on the languages and any syntactic or semantic checks it performs on the string passed in, setting this property might fail. Languages are not required to check the string, and because the string is necessarily language-dependent, setting this property can result in undefined behavior if the string has ill-formed content.

When setting this property to a CodeElement, whether or not the CodeElement must be newly created depends on the language implementation of the code model. Some languages might implement copying semantics if you pass in a CodeElement that is already in a source file.
