property bool IsDerivedFrom[String^ FullName] {
bool get (String^ FullName);

JScript does not support indexed properties.
Parameters
FullName
Type: StringRequired. The type to search for in the lineage of this type.
Property Value
Type: Boolean
A boolean value that is true if a code class has another code class as its base; false if otherwise.
Remarks
Note
The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
