    index As UInteger, _
    pszFilename As IntPtr, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef pulLineNum As UInteger _
) As Integer

abstract GetSourceContext : 
        index:uint32 * 
        pszFilename:IntPtr * 
        pulLineNum:uint32 byref -> int

function GetSourceContext(
    index : uint, 
    pszFilename : IntPtr, 
    pulLineNum : uint
) : int

Parameters

  • index
    Type: System.UInt32

    [in] Specifies the index of the list item of interest.

  • pszFilename
    Type: System.IntPtr

    [out] Pointer to a null terminated string containing the file name. You must allocate this buffer and free it on the list's final Release, but you can reuse this buffer for multiple calls to this method.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsObjectList::GetSourceContext(
   [in] ULONG Index,
   [out] const WCHAR **pszFileName,
   [out] ULONG *pulLineNum
);

This method is used to display the source file and line number in the find symbol results window. You can return E_NOTIMPL if you don't want to display this information.

Note

The text buffer is created by the IVsObjectList object and the buffer must persist for the life of the IVsObjectList object.

If you are implementing this interface in managed code and you need to have the string disposed of by the caller, implement the IVsCoTaskMemFreeMyStrings interface on the IVsObjectList interface.
