Property Value

A CodeElements collection.

Attributes

Remarks

If an object has no children, then Nothing or null is returned.

This property is used primarily by Visual C++. Children returns every object returnable from a code element. A class, for example, returns members, bases, implemented interfaces, attributes, comments, and so forth.

To iterate through the members of a namespace or type (class, struct, interface, and so forth), you must query interface (QI) or cast the CodeElement to a CodeNamespace and then use the Members property.

Children returns the collection of all related CodeElement objects that can be referenced via this code element. The Children property may return Nothing or null depending on the object and the language. There is no requirement to support this in Visual Studio.
