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).

Examples

 Sub TypeExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a function.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeFunction at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim fun As CodeFunction = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction), CodeFunction)

        MsgBox(fun.Name & "'s return type is " & fun.Type.AsFullName)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try

End Sub

 public void TypeExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    // and place the insertion point inside a function.
    try
    {
        // Retrieve the CodeFunction at the insertion point.
        TextSelection sel = 
            (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeFunction fun = 
            (CodeFunction)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction);

        MessageBox.Show(fun.Name + "'s return type is " + 
            fun.Type.AsFullName);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
