Public Interface IScanner
public interface IScanner
The IScanner type exposes the following members.
Methods
| Name | Description | |

ScanTokenAndProvideInfoAboutIt | Parses the next language token from the current line and returns information about it. |
|
SetSource | Sets the line to be parsed. |

Remarks
A language service must parse code in order to support any of the features offered by Visual Studio to developers. For example, syntax highlighting requires knowledge of the different elements of the language to provide the right color, while code completion requires knowledge of the current scope. Identifying the type of tokens is the role of the scanner, while identifying the functionality and scope of a token is the role of a parser.
Notes to Implementers
In order to parse code, you must implement the IScanner interface on a class and call the constructor of that class in your implementation of GetScanner.
Notes to Callers
The scanner is used by the Colorizer class to handle syntax highlighting and is typically supplied to the colorizer constructor. The parser can also be used for other language features, such as identifying token triggers that initiate more complex parsing through the ParseSource method.
Examples
Here is an example of a simple implementation of this interface.
[C#]
namespace MyLanguagePackage

}
