Remarks

If InfoLocation returns vsCMInfoLocationProject, then you can set properties, obtain a StartPoint, and obtain an EndPoint. When you go from one code model object (A) to another (B) — such as from a function to its type or from a class to its base class — B may be of type vsCMInfoLocationExternal if its definition is in another project. The disposition depends on the code model implementation, whether object B's project is implemented in the same language as object A's.

If InfoLocation returns vsCMInfoLocationExternal, then information is available only from metadata, inspecting a DLL, or from frozen sources. You may be able to obtain a StartPoint and EditPoint2, but you cannot edit the document. That is, you cannot set properties or modify the text behind the code element.

If InfoLocation returns vsCMInfoLocationNone, then all that is available is a code model object that has a name. Also, based on the context of the source code, in some cases you can tell whether the name should be a class or an interface. In this situation, however, because the code model could not resolve the name to any real, useful information, the object is otherwise useless.
