CodeDelegate2.Comment Property

Sets and gets the comment associated with the CodeDelegate2.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Comment As String
string Comment { get; set; }
property String^ Comment {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}
abstract Comment : string with get, set
function get Comment () : String
function set Comment (value : String)

Property Value

Type: System.String
A string containing comments associated with the CodeDelegate2.

Implements

CodeDelegate.Comment

Remarks

Comment sets or returns the header comment. When returned, the text does not contain any comment syntax. The text is derived from the source, based on the language's comment style, to specify how many previous versions of the source's comments qualify as header comment for a delegate.

When set, Comment attempts to maintain the style of any existing comment by using line-oriented syntax versus delimited syntax. For example, Comment preserves indentation prior to line-oriented syntax, preserves whether the comment touches the delegate or is separated from the delegate by a blank line, and so forth.

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).

Examples

Before running this example, load a project with a class and insert the following line along with the example code. After both the line and the example code are added, click the Delegate line to place the insertion point there, and then run the example.

[VisualBasic]

Delegate Sub MySubDelegate(ByVal x As Integer)

[C#]

public delegate void MySubDelegate(int x);
