VCMidlTool.StructMemberAlignment Property

Gets or sets 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, or 16-byte boundaries for struct member alignment.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Property StructMemberAlignment As midlStructMemberAlignOption
midlStructMemberAlignOption StructMemberAlignment { get; set; }
property midlStructMemberAlignOption StructMemberAlignment {
    midlStructMemberAlignOption get ();
    void set (midlStructMemberAlignOption value);
}
abstract StructMemberAlignment : midlStructMemberAlignOption with get, set
function get StructMemberAlignment () : midlStructMemberAlignOption 
function set StructMemberAlignment (value : midlStructMemberAlignOption)

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.midlStructMemberAlignOption
A midlStructMemberAlignOption enumeration.

Remarks

StructMemberAlignment exposes the functionality of the C++ compiler's /Zp (Struct Member Alignment) option, and the MIDL compiler's MIDL Property Pages: Advanced option.

Use the structMemberAlignOption enumeration to change the value of the VCCLCompilerTool property.

Use midlStructMemberAlignOption to change the value of the VCMidlTool property.

The MIDL tool does not allow 16-byte boundaries.

Examples

See How to: Compile Example Code for Project Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this example.

The following example modifies the compiler's StructMemberAlignment property in the integrated development environment (IDE):

[Visual Basic]

' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine

Public Module Module1
    Sub Test()
        Dim prj As VCProject
        Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
        Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
        Dim tool As VCCLCompilerTool
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        cfgs = prj.Configurations
        cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
        tool = cfg.Tools("VCCLCompilerTool")
        tool.StructMemberAlignment = structMemberAlignOption.alignSixteenBytes
