Parameters

• Name
  Type: System.String

  Required. The name of the class.

• Location
  Type: System.Object

  Required. The path and file name for the new class definition. Depending on the language, the file name is either relative or absolute to the project file. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddClass fails.

• Position
  Type: System.Object

  Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

  If the value is a Long data type, then AddClass indicates the element after which to add the new element.

  Because collections begin their count at 1, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

• Bases
  Type: System.Object

  Required. Default = 0. A SafeArray of fully qualified type names or CodeClass objects from which the new class inherits its implementations.

• ImplementedInterfaces
  Type: System.Object

  Required. Default = 0. A SafeArray of fully qualified type names or CodeInterface objects, each representing an interface that the new class promises to implement.

• Access
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess

  Optional. A vsCMAccess constant.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeClass
A CodeClass object.

Remarks

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model.
