[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(5)]
public bool CreateUniqueID (string Prefix, out string NewName = 0);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(5)]
public bool CreateUniqueID (string prefix, out string newName);
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(5)>]
abstract member CreateUniqueID : string * string -> bool
Public Function CreateUniqueID (Prefix As String, Optional ByRef NewName As String = 0) As Boolean
Public Function CreateUniqueID (prefix As String, ByRef newName As String) As Boolean

Remarks

CreateUniqueID returns whether Prefix is a unique identifier in the collection of code elements. If the second argument, NewName, is supplied, then it returns a unique name based on Prefix as a prefix (possibly the same characters with no additional characters). The return value, however, always returns whether Prefix is unique, regardless of whether the second argument is supplied.
