string? DocumentationComment { get; }

Property Value

string

ElementType

The type of the object encompassed or referred to by the current array, pointer, or reference type, or null if the current type is not an array or a pointer, or is not passed by reference, or represents a generic type or a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method.

Methods

GetNamespaceDeclaration(ISourceFileLocation?)

Returns the INamespaceDeclaration that declared the current type, if the type came from a parsed source file.

INamespaceDeclaration? GetNamespaceDeclaration(ISourceFileLocation? location)
Parameter Type Description
location ISourceFileLocation

The optional ISourceFileLocation that provides contextual information, used when this is a merged type definition to select the most appropriate namespace declaration result.

Returns

INamespaceDeclaration:

The INamespaceDeclaration that declared the current type, if the type came from a parsed source file.
