Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function CreateUniqueID ( _
Prefix As String, _
<OutAttribute> ByRef NewName As String _
) As Boolean
bool CreateUniqueID(
string Prefix,
out string NewName
)
bool CreateUniqueID(
[InAttribute] String^ Prefix,
[InAttribute] [OutAttribute] String^% NewName
)
abstract CreateUniqueID :
Prefix:string *
NewName:string byref -> bool
function CreateUniqueID(
Prefix : String,
NewName : String
) : boolean
Parameters
Prefix
Type: System.StringRequired. The prefix string or whole name to check to see whether or not it is unique for the collection of code elements.
NewName
Type: System.String%Optional. If supplied, this returns with a guaranteed unique name.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the name is a unique identifier, false if it is not.
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.
