Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the AddAttribute method.

public static void AddAttribute(EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte)  
{  
    TextSelection objTextSel;  
    EnvDTE80.CodeEvent codeEvent;  
    objTextSel = (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;  
    codeEvent = (EnvDTE80.CodeEvent)objTextSel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(vsCMElement.vsCMElementEvent);  

    codeEvent.AddAttribute("Obsolete", "\"NewAttribute\", true", 1);  
    string str = "";  
    foreach (CodeElement ce in codeEvent.Attributes)  
        str += "\n" + ce.FullName;  
    MessageBox.Show("\nAddAttribute method: " +  
                    str, "Testing CodeEvent");  
}

Remarks

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.
