        Kind:vsCMElement * 
        bstrType:string -> bool

    Kind : vsCMElement, 
    bstrType : String
) : boolean

Parameters

• bstrName
  Type: System.String

  Required. The name of the object being validated.

• Kind
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMElement

  Required. A vsCMElement value representing the type of object to be validated.

• bstrType
  Type: System.String

  Optional. The type of object being validated.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the object's name validates; otherwise, false.

Examples

This example validates a method name and then, if valid, adds a method with that name to the class.

Sub AddMethod()
    Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel
    Dim classElement As VCCodeClass
    Dim type As String
    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
    classElement = vcCM.Classes.Item(1)
    type = "int"
    If (vcCM.ValidateMember("Method1", vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction, type)) Then
        classElement.AddFunction("Method1", vsCMFunction.vsCMFunctionFunction, type)
    End If
End Sub
