Sets of gets the relationship of this class with other classes.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property DataTypeKind As vsCMDataTypeKind

vsCMDataTypeKind DataTypeKind { get; set; }

property vsCMDataTypeKind DataTypeKind {
    vsCMDataTypeKind get ();
    void set (vsCMDataTypeKind value);
}

abstract DataTypeKind : vsCMDataTypeKind with get, set

function get DataTypeKind () : vsCMDataTypeKind
function set DataTypeKind (value : vsCMDataTypeKind)

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE80.vsCMDataTypeKind
Returns value from the vsCMDataTypeKind enumeration.

Remarks

For example, if this is the main class of a partial, this call returns vsCMDataTypeKindMain. If it is a partial class, it returns vsCMDataTypeKindPartial.

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 DataTypeKindExample(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 CodeClass2 = _
          CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
        vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass2)

        ' Displays the data type kind of the class.
        Select Case cls.DataTypeKind
            Case vsCMDataTypeKind.vsCMDataTypeKindBlueprint
                MsgBox("Class data type: Blueprint")

            Case vsCMDataTypeKind.vsCMDataTypeKindPartial
                MsgBox("Class data type: Partial")

    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
