    Name : String, 
    Value : String, 
    Position : Object
) : CodeAttribute

Parameters

• Name
  Type: System.String

  Required. The name of the new attribute.

• Value
  Type: System.String

  Required. The value of the attribute, which may be a list of parameters for a parameterized property, separated by commas.

• 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 AddAttribute 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.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeAttribute
A CodeAttribute object.

Remarks

If the attribute already exists, AddAttribute adds another. This may be incorrect for the attribute or the language behind the code model.
