CodeDelegate2.DocComment Property

Sets and gets the documentation comments for CodeDelegate element.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property DocComment As String

string DocComment { get; set; }

property String^ DocComment {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

abstract DocComment : string with get, set

function get DocComment () : String 
function set DocComment (value : String)

Property Value

Type: System.String
A string containing the documentation comments.

Remarks

DocComment returns the special documentation comment or attribute if there is one in the code. If the language implementing the code model does not have a documentation comment mechanism, or if there is none associated with this delegate, then DocComment returns an empty string.

Examples

Before running this example, load a project with a class and insert the following line along with the example code. After both the line and the example code are added, click the Delegate line to place the insertion point there, and then run the example.
