Display a UML component on the class diagram. Creates an IShape whose Element is element. The parts and ports of the component are automatically displayed.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Presentation
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.dll)

Syntax

IShape<T> Display<T>(
    T element,
    double xoffset = 0,
    double yoffset = 0
)
where T : IElement

generic<typename T>
where T : IElement
IShape<T>^ Display(
    T element,
    double xoffset = 0,
    double yoffset = 0
)

abstract Display<'T when 'T : IElement> : 
        element:'T *
        xoffset:float = 0 *
        yoffset:float = 0 -> IShape<'T>

Function Display(Of T As IElement) (
    element As T,
    xoffset As Double,
    yoffset As Double
) As IShape(Of T)

Parameters

element
Type: T

The element to be displayed.

xoffset
Type: System.Double

The location of the new shape relative to the diagram.

yoffset
Type: System.Double

The location of the new shape relative to the diagram.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Presentation.IShape<T>

An IShape<T> representing the new shape.

Type Parameters

T
The type of the element to be displayed. Can usually be implicit.

Remarks

You cannot explicitly display relationships or component parts or ports. A relationship appears on a diagram automatically whenever both of its ends appear. When you display a component, its component parts and ports are also displayed.
