Examples

This example demonstrates using a CodeTypeDeclaration to declare a type.

// Creates a new type declaration.

// name parameter indicates the name of the type.
CodeTypeDeclaration^ newType = gcnew CodeTypeDeclaration( "TestType" );

// Sets the member attributes for the type to private.
newType->Attributes = MemberAttributes::Private;

// Sets a base class which the type inherits from.
newType->BaseTypes->Add( "BaseType" );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
// class TestType : BaseType
// {
// }

// Creates a new type declaration.
CodeTypeDeclaration newType = new CodeTypeDeclaration(
    // name parameter indicates the name of the type.
    "TestType");
// Sets the member attributes for the type to private.
newType.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Private;
// Sets a base class which the type inherits from.
newType.BaseTypes.Add( "BaseType" );            

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

// class TestType : BaseType
// {
// }

' Creates a new type declaration.
Dim newType As New CodeTypeDeclaration("TestType")
   ' name parameter indicates the name of the type.
   ' Sets the member attributes for the type to private.
   newType.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Private
   ' Sets a base class which the type inherits from.
   newType.BaseTypes.Add("BaseType")

' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

' Class TestType
'    Inherits BaseType
' End Class

Remarks

CodeTypeDeclaration can be used to represent code that declares a class, structure, interface, or enumeration. CodeTypeDeclaration can be used to declare a type that is nested within another type.

The BaseTypes property specifies the base type or base types of the type being declared. The Members property contains the type members, which can include methods, fields, properties, comments and other types. The TypeAttributes property indicates the TypeAttributes values for the type declaration, which indicate the type category of the type. The IsClass, IsStruct, IsEnum, and IsInterface methods indicate whether the type is a class, structure, enumeration, or interface type, respectively.

You can build a class or a structure implementation in one complete declaration, or spread the implementation across multiple declarations. The IsPartial property indicates whether the type declaration is complete or partial. Not all code generators support partial type declarations, so you should test for this support by calling the Supports method with the flag PartialTypes.
