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

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub RemoveBase ( _
    Element As Object _
)

void RemoveBase(
    Object Element
)

void RemoveBase(
    Object^ Element
)

abstract RemoveBase : 
        Element:Object -> unit

function RemoveBase(
    Element : Object
)

Parameters

• Element
  Type: System.Object

  Required. A CodeElement or the name of one in the collection.

Remarks

Required. A CodeElement or the name of one in the collection.

The element removed can be either a CodeElement object that is in the collection or the name of a unique element in the collection.

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).
