void MyFunc(CodeClass2 cc, string EventName)
{
CodeFunction cf = cc.AddFunction(EventName, vsCMFunction.vsCMFunctionSub, vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefVoid, -1)

cf.AddParameter("Sender", vsCMTypeRef.vsCMTypeRefObject, -1)

CodeTypeRef2 ctr = cm.CreateCodeTypeRef("System.Collections.Generic.List")

CodeParameter prmEvent = cf.AddParameter("e", ctr, -1)
}

Is it possible to specify the 'type' parameter of the ctr (CodeTypeRef2) object. The CodeTypeReference object of CodeDom allows
one to set the TypeArguments member.

The only thing I can think of is to manually insert the <> generic syntax, however then I need to check the language of the file,
which somewhat defeats the purpose of using the code model.

Cheers and thanks for any insight,

Stu

Hi Stuart,

Have you try to specify the type argument in the CodeTypeReference object's
definition directly, for example:

CodeTypeRef2 ctr =
cm.CreateCodeTypeRef("System.Collections.Generic.List<string>")

Thanks!

Thanks Gary - that works for C#, but not for VB.NET.

I tried the obvious, and that generated (Of T) instead of (Of System.String). The "obvious" was:

CodeTypeRef2 ctr = cm.CreateCodeTypeRef("System.Collections.Generic.List(Of System.String)")

It generates:

Sub MyTest(aList as System.Collections.Generic.List(Of T))

End Sub

Is this a bug?

Cheers,

Stu
