From ITypeMemberDefinition, can I get the information defined in the method?

Hello,

If you run our parser on the C# text (which is what happens when the C# code is in a document with our add-on's C# syntax language attached), part of the parse data result is an abstract syntax tree (AST) that has information on the entire document, including the insides of methods.  For reflection purposes, we take that AST and simplify it to the public APIs we find.  ITypeMemberDefinition is part of the relection-level end of things, which is why it doesn't retain anything about the method contents.  Reflection data is used to primarily drive what shows in IntelliPrompt.  AST information from the current document being edited is also merged into IntelliPrompt by our resolver, which is how variables in the method being edited show up.

Back to your question, reflection data (i.e. ITypeMemberDefinition) won't contain anything about the insides of methods since that would take up a lot of extra memory to track and it's not needed for our purposes.  You can walk the AST of a parsed C# document to look for references to a certain type.  This will likely be a fairly involved process though because you'd have to handle possible inline or using-declared namespaces.  Our C# resolver in the add-on can handle a lot of this if you have the code loaded in a document with the CSharpSyntaxLanguage defined, and you could possibly use it to resolve specific identifiers.  Overall though, you may find it easier and more performant to try and get this kind of information from a separate C# compiler like Roslyn.

This documentation topic tells you how to quickly and synchronously parse a string containing C# code into parse data with an AST.

Thank you.

By using AST, I can access to the information that I wanted.
I will try by using AST.
