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).
Examples
[Visual Basic]
Sub CollectionExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
Try
' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
Dim sel As TextSelection = _
CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
Dim cls As CodeClass = _
CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass)
Dim elem As CodeElement
Dim peers As String
' List all peer elements of the CodeClass.
For Each elem In cls.Collection
If Not (elem Is cls) And Not IsNothing(elem.Name) Then
peers &= elem.Name & " (" & elem.Kind.ToString() & _
")" & vbCrLf
End If
Next
MsgBox(cls.Name & " has the following peer elements:" & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & peers)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
