'使用
Dim instance As Declarations
Dim index As Integer
Dim returnValue As String

returnValue = instance.GetDescription(index)
public abstract string GetDescription(
    int index
)

virtual String^ GetDescription(
    int index

public abstract function GetDescription(
    index : int
) : String

Parameters

  • index
    Type: System.Int32

    [in] The index of the item for which to get the description.

Return Value

Type: System.String

If successful, returns the description; otherwise, returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If an item does not contain a description, an empty string can be returned. A description can be obtained from the source during the parsing operation, typically from a comment before or after the parsed item. Sometimes the description can simply be the type of the declaration; for example, an integer variable could have a description of simply "integer" or "int".
