Parameters

• Name
  Type: System.String

  Required. The name of the new function.

• Location
  Type: System.Object

  Required. The path and file name for the new function 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 AddFunction fails.

• Kind
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMFunction

  Required. The vsCMFunction constant indicating the type of function, such as whether the function is a property-get, a method, and so forth.

• Type
  Type: System.Object

  Required. A vsCMTypeRef constant indicating the data type that the function returns. This can be a CodeTypeRef object, a vsCMTypeRef constant, or a fully qualified type name.

• 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, then AddFunction 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.

• Access
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess

  Optional. A vsCMAccess constant.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeFunction
A CodeFunction object.

Remarks

Only Visual C++ implements this method because C#, Visual Basic, and J# do not allow top-level functions.

Visual C++ requires the colon-separated (::) format for its fully qualified type names.

.NET Framework Security

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
