How to: Manipulate Code by Using the Visual C++ Code Model (Visual C#)

In Visual Studio 2013, add-ins are deprecated. We recommend that you upgrade your add-ins to VSPackage extensions. For more information about how to upgrade, see FAQ: Converting Add-ins to VSPackage Extensions.

The Visual Studio code model offers automation clients the ability to find code definitions in a project and modify those code elements. Visual C++ provides an extension to the core code model to target code that is specific to Visual C++.

For example, if the Language property indicates that a given code element is a Visual C++ code model object, and Kind = vsCMElementClass, then you can choose to use either the CodeClass2 from the Visual Studio code model or the VCCodeClass from the Visual C++ code model.

The following procedures demonstrate how to examine and generate code by using the code model that is specific to Visual C++.

To add a comment to the first file in the project

  1. Create a Visual Studio add-in project in Visual C#.

  2. On the Project menu, click Add Reference, click the .NET tab, select Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel, and then click OK.

  3. Add using Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel; to the top of the Connect.cs file.

  4. Replace the code in the OnConnection method with the following code:

    // Add-in code.
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel;
    public void OnConnection(object application,
     Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
     ref System.Array custom)
    {
        _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
        )addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
        // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
        test((DTE2)_applicationObject); 
    }
    
    public void test( DTE2 dte ) 
    { 
        VCCodeModel vcCM = null; 
        VCCodeElement vcCodeElement = null; 
        vcCM = ( ( VCCodeModel )( dte.Solution.Item( 1 ).CodeModel ) ); 
        vcCodeElement = ( ( VCCodeElement )
    ( vcCM.CodeElements.Item(1))); 
        AddCommentAtStart( vcCodeElement ); 
        AddCommentAtEnd( vcCodeElement ); 
    } 
    
    public void AddCommentAtStart(
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeElement vcCodeElement )
    {
        TextPoint textPoint = null;
        textPoint = vcCodeElement.get_StartPointOf(
          vsCMPart.vsCMPartWhole, 0 );
        textPoint.CreateEditPoint().Insert("/*This is a Start Comment*/");
    }
    
    public void AddCommentAtEnd( 
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeElement vcCodeElement )
    {
        TextPoint textPoint = null;
        textPoint = vcCodeElement.get_EndPointOf( vsCMPart.vsCMPartWhole, 0  
          );
        textPoint.CreateEditPoint().Insert( "/*End Comment*/" );
    }
    
  5. To build the add-in, click Build Solution on the Build menu.

  6. Open a Visual C++ project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE).

  7. On the Tools menu, click Add-in Manager, and then select your add-in from the Add-In Manager dialog box. Click OK to run your add-in.

  8. Examine the first file in the project for the programmatically added comments.

To add a new file to a Visual C++ project

  1. Create a Visual Studio add-in project in Visual C#.

  2. On the Project menu, click Add Reference, click the .NET tab, select Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel, and then click OK.

  3. Add using Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel; to the top of the Connect.cs file.

  4. Replace the code in the OnConnection method with the following code:

    //Add-in code.
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel;
    public void OnConnection(object application,
     Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
     ref System.Array custom)
    {
        _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
        _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
        // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
        GetVCCodeElement((DTE2)_applicationObject); 
    }
    
    //  Shows how to get a VCCodeElement.
    public void GetVCCodeElement( DTE2 dte ) 
    {
        VCCodeModel vcCM = null; 
        VCCodeElement vcCodeElement = null; 
        vcCM = ( ( Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeModel )(
          dte.Solution.Item( 1 ).CodeModel ) ); 
        vcCodeElement = ( (
          Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeElement )( 
          vcCM.AddClass( "MyClass2", "MyClass2.h",0,null, null,
          EnvDTE.vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessDefault ) ) ); 
    }
    
  5. To build the add-in, click Build Solution on the Build menu.

  6. Open a Visual C++ project in the Visual Studio IDE.

  7. On the Tools menu, click Add-in Manager, and select your add-in from the Add-In Manager dialog box. Click OK to run your add-in.

    Note

    If MyClass2.h already exists, the code fails.

     Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
     ref System.Array custom)
    {
        _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
        _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
        // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
        DisplayName((DTE2)_applicationObject); 
    }
    
    // DisplayName
    // Shows the DisplayName of a function which includes the parameter 
    // names.
    public void DisplayName( DTE2 dte ) 
    { 
        VCCodeModel vcCM = null; 
        VCCodeElement vcCodeElement = null; 
        vcCM = ( ( Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeModel )(
          dte.Solution.Item( 1 ).CodeModel ) ); 
          vcCodeElement = ( (     
            Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeElement )
            ( vcCM.AddFunction( "MyFunction", "File.h",  
            vsCMFunction.vsCMFunctionFunction, "void",
            null, EnvDTE.vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessDefault ) ) );
