Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Children As CodeElements

CodeElements Children { get; }

property CodeElements^ Children {
    CodeElements^ get ();
}

abstract Children : CodeElements with get

function get Children () : CodeElements

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeElements
A CodeElements collection.

Remarks

If an object has no children, then Nothing is returned.

Children is used primarily by Visual C++. Children returns every object returnable from a code element.

To iterate through the members of a namespace or type (class, struct, interface, and so forth), you must use query interface (QI) or cast the CodeElement to a CodeNamespace and then use the Members property.

Children returns the collection of all related CodeElement objects that can be referenced via this code element. For example, for a CodeClass, this might include the metadata code elements for the class and perhaps the Visual C++ declspecs, along with contributed code based on the Attributed Programming feature in Visual C++, template parameters, and so forth. A CodeFunction might include all of its parameters, contributed parameters based on the Attributed Programming feature in Visual C++, and so forth.

The Children property may return Nothing depending on the object and the language. There is no requirement to support this in Visual Studio.
