Public ReadOnly Property Children As CodeElements

Property Value

CodeElements

A CodeElements collection.

Implements

Children

Attributes: DispIdAttribute TypeLibFuncAttribute

Remarks

If a CodeElement2 object has no children, then Nothing is returned.

This property is used primarily by Visual C++. Children returns every object returnable from a code element. A class, for example, returns members, bases, implemented interfaces, attributes, comments, and so forth.

Children returns the collection of all related CodeElement2 objects that can be referenced via this code element. For example, for a CodeClass2 object, 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 CodeFunction2 object 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.

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.
