Public Property MustImplement As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

A Boolean value indicating true if the method is declared abstract and thus requires an implementation; false if otherwise.

Attributes

DispIdAttribute

Remarks

MustImplement returns or sets whether the method is implemented or requires an implementation in subclasses. Note that this might always be False for some languages, and that setting MustImplement might fail depending on the language.

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. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
