Creates a new delegate code construct and inserts the code in the correct location.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Function AddDelegate ( _
    Name As String, _
    Type As Object, _
    Position As Object, _
    Access As vsCMAccess _
) As CodeDelegate

CodeDelegate AddDelegate(
    string Name,
    Object Type,
    Object Position,
    vsCMAccess Access
)

CodeDelegate^ AddDelegate(
    String^ Name, 
    Object^ Type, 
    Object^ Position, 
    vsCMAccess Access
)

abstract AddDelegate : 
        Name:string * 
        Type:Object * 
        Position:Object * 
        Access:vsCMAccess -> CodeDelegate

function AddDelegate(
    Name : String, 
    Type : Object, 
    Position : Object, 
    Access : vsCMAccess
) : CodeDelegate

Parameters

• Name
  Type: System.String

  Required. The name of the delegate to add.

• Type
  Type: System.Object

  Required. A vsCMTypeRef constant indicating the data type that the function returns. This can be a CodeTypeRef object, a vsCMTypeRef constant, or a fully qualified type name.

• Position
  Type: System.Object

  Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

  If the value is a Long data type, then AddDelegate indicates the element after which to add the new element.

  Because collections begin their count at 1, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

• Access
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess

  Optional. A vsCMAccess constant.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeDelegate
A CodeDelegate object.

Remarks

Visual C++ requires the colon-separated (::) format for its fully qualified type names. All other languages support the period-separated format.

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model.

Examples

Sub AddDelegateExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project.
    Try
        Dim projItem As ProjectItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem

        ' Create a new delegate.
        projItem.FileCodeModel.AddDelegate("TestDelegate", _
            vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefInt)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try

End Sub

public void AddDelegateExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from 
    // a project.
    try
    {
        ProjectItem projItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem;

        // Create a new delegate.
        projItem.FileCodeModel.AddDelegate("TestDelegate", 
            vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefInt, -1, 
            vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
