The CodeAttributeArgument type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Children	Gets the collection of child attributes for the specified code attribute argument.
	Collection	Gets the collection containing the object that supports this property.
	DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object, in this case the DTE2 object.
	EndPoint	Gets a TextPoint object defining the end of the code attribute argument.
	Extender	Returns the Extender for the code attribute argument.
	ExtenderCATID	Gets the category ID (CATID) for the Extender of the code attribute argument.
	ExtenderNames	Gets the names of the Extenders for the code attribute arguments.
	FullName	Gets the fully qualified name of the code attribute argument's definition.
	InfoLocation	Gets a constant indicating the location of the code attribute argument.
	IsCodeType	Gets a value indicating whether a CodeType object can be obtained from this code attribute argument.
	Kind	Gets an enumeration value that defines the type of code element.
	Language	Gets the programming language that is used to author the code.
	Name	Gets or sets a string representing the name of the object.
	ProjectItem	Gets the associated ProjectItem object.
	StartPoint	Gets a TextPoint object defining the start of the code attribute argument.
	Value	Sets or gets the value of an attribute argument.

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

' Macro code.
Sub codeArgExample()
    Dim sel As TextSelection = _
    CType(DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
    Dim cls As CodeClass2 = CType(sel.ActivePoint. _
    CodeElement(vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass2)
    Dim attr As CodeAttribute2
    Dim attrArg As CodeAttributeArgument
    Dim msg As String

    ' Loop through all of the attributes in the class.
    For Each attr In cls.Attributes
        ' Loop through all of the arguments for the attribute.
        For Each attrArg In attr.Arguments
            msg += attrArg.Value & " "
        Next
    Next
    ' List the arguments for the attribute.
    MsgBox("Attribute parameters for " & attr.Name _
    & ": " & msg)
End Sub
