Gets the base type of the CodeTypeRef.
Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
ReadOnly Property TypeKind As vsCMTypeRef
vsCMTypeRef TypeKind { get; }
property vsCMTypeRef TypeKind {
vsCMTypeRef get ();
}
abstract TypeKind : vsCMTypeRef with get
function get TypeKind () : vsCMTypeRef
Property Value
Type: EnvDTE.vsCMTypeRef
A vsCMTypeRef value.
Remarks
TypeKind returns the kind of the type, for example, whether it is a .NET Framework type, a type reference (such as a class, interface, and so forth), or an array type.
When the type is an array or pointer, ElementType is the CodeTypeRef object for the array elements or the target of the pointer. For language-specific modeling, the type is vsCMTypeRefOther, and you must check the language of Parent to discover a more specific interface for which you can query interface (QI).
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).
.NET Framework Security
- Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
