Returns a code element based on a fully qualified name.
Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function CodeTypeFromFullName ( _
Name As String _
) As CodeType
CodeType CodeTypeFromFullName(
string Name
)
CodeType^ CodeTypeFromFullName(
String^ Name
)
abstract CodeTypeFromFullName :
Name:string -> CodeType
function CodeTypeFromFullName(
Name : String
) : CodeType
Parameters
Name
Type: System.StringRequired. A fully qualified symbol name, such as Namespace1.Namespace2.Class1.Member1.
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE.CodeType
A CodeType object.
Remarks
If the specified name is not found in the project or any of its references, CodeTypeFromFullName returns Nothing, rather than returning a code element with a Kind property of vsCMElementOther and a InfoLocation property of vsCMInfoLocationNone.
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).
