Property Value

A CodeElements collection.

Remarks

If an object has no children, then Nothing 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 QI (query interface) or cast the CodeElements to a CodeNamespace and then use the Members property.

Children returns the collection of all related CodeElement objects that can be referenced by way of this code element. A CodeFunction might include all of its parameters, contributed parameters based on the Attributed Programming feature in Visual C++.

The Children property may return Nothing depending on the object and the language. There is no requirement to support this in Visual Studio.

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.
