Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.Returns E_FAIL if the document is in the RDT and something else has a lock on it which cannot be removed automatically.

Remarks

This method puts the contents for the generated file into an in memory TextBuffer and registers it in the RDT with a RDT_ReadLock. This holds the file open in memory until the project is closed (when the project will call Close). If this is an actual build operation (such as if UICONTEXT_SolutionBuilding is on) then the file will also be saved to disk. If the generation is at design time for Intellisense purposes then the file contents are only put into memory and the disk is not modified. The in-memory TextBuffer is always marked as clean so the user will not be prompted to save the generated file.

COM Signature
