Introduction
When a class created in a VB.NET project uses the Implements or Inherits
clauses, the EnvDTE.CodeElement.GetStartPoint method returns a wrong result when
using vsCMPart.vsCMPartBody.
More Information
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Create a class with this code:
| Language: VB.NET |  Copy Code (IE only) |
1 Public Class C1
2 Public Event Event1()
3 End Class
4
5 Public Class C2
6 Inherits System.Object
7 Public Event Event1()
8 End Class
- Create and execute this macro:
| Language: VB.NET | Copy Code (IE only) |
Sub Macro1()
Dim codeElement As CodeElement
For Each codeElement In DTE.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem.FileCodeModel.CodeElements
MsgBox(codeElement.Name & ": " & codeElement.GetStartPoint(vsCMPart.vsCMPartBody).Line)
Next
End Sub
For the first class the result line is 2 (correct) but for the second class
the result line is 8 when it should be 7. This is a bug of Visual Studio 2005
and 2008. It didn't happen in Visual Studio .NET 2003.
