Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

CodeMemberMethod can be used to represent the declaration for a method.

The ReturnType property specifies the data type of the method's return value. The Parameters property contains the method's parameters. The Statements property contains the statements of the method.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example demonstrates use of a CodeMemberMethod to declare a method that accepts a parameter and returns a value.

[Visual Basic] 
' Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
Dim method1 As New CodeMemberMethod()
method1.Name = "ReturnString"
method1.ReturnType = New CodeTypeReference("System.String")
method1.Parameters.Add(New CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text"))
method1.Statements.Add(New CodeMethodReturnStatement(New CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text")))

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

'   Private Function ReturnString(ByVal [text] As String) As String
'       Return [Text]
'   End Function

[C#] 
// Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();            
method1.Name = "ReturnString";
method1.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference("System.String");
method1.Parameters.Add( new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text") );
method1.Statements.Add( new CodeMethodReturnStatement( new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text") ) );            

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

//    private string ReturnString(string text) 
//    {
//        return text;
//    }
