function AddMacro(
    Name : String, 
    Location : Object,

) : VCCodeMacro

Parameters

  • Name
    Type: System.String
    Required. Specifies the name of the macro.
  • Location
    Type: System.Object
    Required. The path or file name of the file to be modified. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddMacro fails.
  • Value
    Type: System.String
    Optional. The text of the macro's definition.
  • Position
    Type: System.Object
    Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.
    Since collections begin their count at one, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeMacro
A VCCodeMacro object.
