Public Overridable Function CreateElement ( _
    partition As Partition, _
    elementType As Type, _
    propertyAssignments As PropertyAssignment() _
) As ModelElement

public virtual ModelElement CreateElement(

public:

    Partition^ partition, 
    Type^ elementType, 
    array<PropertyAssignment^>^ propertyAssignments
)

abstract CreateElement : 
        partition:Partition * 
        elementType:Type * 
        propertyAssignments:PropertyAssignment[] -> ModelElement 
override CreateElement : 
        partition:Partition *

public function CreateElement(
    partition : Partition, 
    elementType : Type, 
    propertyAssignments : PropertyAssignment[]
) : ModelElement

Parameters

• partition
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Partition
  The partition where element is to be created.

• elementType
  Type: System.Type
  A non-abstract domain class defined in the DSL Definition.

• propertyAssignments
  Type: array<Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.PropertyAssignment[]
  Specify values for the domain properties defined for the domain class.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ModelElement
The ModelElement that was created.

Remarks

This method is suitable for generated code. In ordinary programming, use the constructor of the domain class.

This example assumes the DSL Definition of the Minimal Language DSL solution template.

Examples

MyDslDomainModel dm = ...;
PropertyAssignment nameProperty = 
    new PropertyAssignment(ExampleElement.NameDomainPropertyId, "element1");
ExampleElement element = dm.CreateElement(
    dm.Store.DefaultPartition, 
    typeof(ExampleElement), 
    new PropertyAssignment[] {nameProperty}
   ) as ExampleElement;

The following example has the same effect:

ExampleElement element1 = new ExampleElement(dm.Store);
element1.Name = "element1";
