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

[Visual Basic]

Sub NamespaceExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim cls As CodeClass = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass)

        If IsNothing(cls.Namespace) = False Then
            MsgBox(cls.Name & " belongs to the " & _
                cls.Namespace.Name & " namespace.")
        Else
            MsgBox(cls.Name & " doesn't belong to a namespace.")
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub
