Examples

This example displays the names of all attributes applied to the ATLProjectLib library. It is assumed that the ATLProjectLib library exists.

Sub GetAttributes()  
    Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel  
    Dim vcLibrary As VCCodeIDLLibrary  
    Dim vcAttribute As VCCodeAttribute  
    Dim i As Integer  
    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel  
    vcLibrary = vcCM.IDLLibraries.Find("ATLProjectLib")  
    For i = 1 To vcLibrary.Attributes.Count  
        vcAttribute = vcLibrary.Attributes.Item(i)  
        MsgBox(vcAttribute.DisplayName)  
    Next  
End Sub

Remarks

The VCCodeAttribute object represents either a CLR or COM metadata attribute associated with a code element. You can add new parameters to the attribute with the AddParameter method and get and set the value of a code attribute with the VCCodeAttribute object.

Note

A large part of the functionality of this object is provided by the Visual Studio VCCodeAttribute object. For more information, see CodeAttribute object.

Properties

Children	Gets a collection of child code elements of the specified attribute.

EndPoint	Gets the edit point that is the location of the end of the code item.
EndPointOf[vsCMPart, vsCMWhere]	Returns the end point of the parent object.
Extender[String]	Gets the requested Extender object if it is available for this object.
ExtenderCATID	Gets the Extender category ID (CATID) for the object.
ExtenderNames	Gets a list of available Extenders for the object.
File	Gets the file in which the parent object is declared.

Index	Gets the position of an attribute in the attribute block.
InfoLocation	Gets the capabilities of the code model.
IsCaseSensitive	Gets whether a code element is case-sensitive.
IsCodeType	Gets a value indicating whether a CodeType object can be obtained from this object.
IsInjected	Determines if a code element has been injected by an attribute or macro expansion.

StartPoint	Gets a TextPoint object that defines the beginning of the code item.
StartPointOf[vsCMPart, vsCMWhere]	Returns the start point of the parent object.
Value	Gets or sets the data for the object.

Methods

AddParameter(String, String, Object)	Creates a new parameter code construct and inserts the code in the correct location.
Delete()	Removes the attribute.
GetEndPoint(vsCMPart)	Returns a TextPoint object that marks the end of the code element definition.
GetStartPoint(vsCMPart)	Returns a TextPoint object that defines the beginning of the code element definition.
IsSelf(Object)	Determines if the specified code element is the same as the parent code element.
RemoveParameter(Object)	Removes a parameter from the argument list.
