Property.Object Property

Sets or gets the object supporting the Property object.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Object As Object

Object Object { get; set; }

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

abstract Object : Object with get, set

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

Property Value

Type: System.Object
An object representing the value of the Property object.

Remarks

If an Add-in uses Property.Value instead of Property.Object, then the Property object returns a Properties collection instead of an Object value. That is, the IDispatch that would be returned via Property.Object is wrapped so that Property.Value returns a nested Properties collection.

Examples

' Visual Studio macro.
Sub ObjectExample3(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Retrieve and display the text editor color setting for 
    ' code comments.
    Dim props As Properties = _
        dte.Properties("FontsAndColors", "TextEditor")
    Dim prop As [Property] = props.Item("FontsAndColorsItems")
    Dim items As FontsAndColorsItems = _
        CType(prop.Object, FontsAndColorsItems)
    Dim item As ColorableItems = items.Item("Comment")

    MsgBox(item.Name & " items have an OLE_COLOR value of " & _
        item.Foreground.ToString() & vbCrLf)

End Sub

public void ObjectExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Retrieve and display the text editor color setting for 
    // code comments.
    Properties props = 
        dte.get_Properties("FontsAndColors", "TextEditor");
    Property prop = props.Item("FontsAndColorsItems");
    FontsAndColorsItems items = (FontsAndColorsItems)prop.Object;
    ColorableItems item = items.Item("Comment");

    MessageBox.Show(item.Name + " items have an OLE_COLOR value of " + 
        item.Foreground.ToString() + "\n");
}
