VCCodeElements.CreateUniqueID Method (String, String%)

Creates a programmatic identifier that does not collide with other identifiers in the scope, and follows the current language naming rules. This method is not implemented in Visual C#.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function CreateUniqueID ( _
    Prefix As String, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef NewName As String _
) As Boolean

bool CreateUniqueID(
    string Prefix,
    out string NewName
)

bool CreateUniqueID(
    [InAttribute] String^ Prefix, 
    [InAttribute] [OutAttribute] String^% NewName
)

abstract CreateUniqueID : 
        Prefix:string * 
        NewName:string byref -> bool

function CreateUniqueID(
    Prefix : String, 
    NewName : String
) : boolean

Parameters

Prefix
Type: System.String
Required. The prefix string or whole name to check to see whether or not it is unique for the collection of code elements.

NewName
Type: System.String%
Optional. If supplied, this returns with a guaranteed unique name.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the name is a unique identifier, false if it is not.

Implements

CodeElements.CreateUniqueID(String, String%)

Remarks

CreateUniqueID returns whether Prefix is a unique identifier in the collection of code elements. If the second argument, NewName, is supplied, then it returns a unique name based on Prefix as a prefix (possibly the same characters with no additional characters). The return value, however, always returns whether Prefix is unique, regardless of whether the second argument is supplied.
