Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function CanMerge ( _
    rootElement As ProtoElementBase, _
    elementGroupPrototype As ElementGroupPrototype _
) As Boolean

'Usage
Dim instance As IMergeElements 
Dim rootElement As ProtoElementBase 
Dim elementGroupPrototype As ElementGroupPrototype 
Dim returnValue As Boolean 

returnValue = instance.CanMerge(rootElement, _
    elementGroupPrototype)

bool CanMerge(
    ProtoElementBase rootElement,
    ElementGroupPrototype elementGroupPrototype
)

bool CanMerge(
    ProtoElementBase^ rootElement, 
    ElementGroupPrototype^ elementGroupPrototype
)

function CanMerge(
    rootElement : ProtoElementBase, 
    elementGroupPrototype : ElementGroupPrototype
) : boolean

Parameters

rootElement
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ProtoElementBase

The root ProtoElement representing a source element.

elementGroupPrototype
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ElementGroupPrototype

The ElementGroupPrototype that contains the root ProtoElement.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the source element represented by the ProtoElement can be added to this target element; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The source element is represented by the specified root ProtoElement.

If the rootElement is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the ElementGroupPrototype does not contain a ProtoElements property value and the code should inspect the ElementGroupPrototype context information.
