VCCodeModel Interface

An object providing project-level access to any contained code element.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll)

Syntax

<GuidAttribute("DF69B05F-2447-11D7-8BF6-00B0D03DAA06")> _
Public Interface VCCodeModel _
    Implements CodeModel2

Dim instance As VCCodeModel

[GuidAttribute("DF69B05F-2447-11D7-8BF6-00B0D03DAA06")]
public interface VCCodeModel : CodeModel2

[GuidAttribute(L"DF69B05F-2447-11D7-8BF6-00B0D03DAA06")]
public interface class VCCodeModel : CodeModel2

public interface VCCodeModel extends CodeModel2

Remarks

The VCCodeModel object provides code model functionality to various languages supported by Visual Studio (including Visual C++) at the project level.

Primarily, this object is used to find any code element accessible within a project (given a fully-qualified name). In addition, the object specifies the programming language in which the project is written.

When using a VCCodeModel object within a managed project, include Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll as a reference. For more information about adding references to a managed project, see How to: Add or Remove References in Visual Studio (Visual Basic).

See How to: Compile Example Code for Visual C++ Code Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this sample.

Examples

This function returns the VCCodeModel object representing the first project in a solution.

Function GetVCCodeModel() As VCCodeModel
    GetVCCodeModel = Nothing
    Dim codeModel As CodeModel
    Dim vcCodeModel As VCCodeModel
    Dim solution As Solution
    solution = DTE.Solution
    If (solution Is Nothing) Then
        MsgBox("A Solution is not open")
        Exit Function
    Else
        If (DTE.Solution.Count <> 0) Then
            codeModel = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
            vcCodeModel = CType(codeModel, VCCodeModel)
            If (vcCodeModel Is Nothing) Then
                MsgBox("The first project is not a VC++ project.")
                Exit Function
            Else
                GetVCCodeModel = vcCodeModel
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Function
