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

CodeArgumentReferenceExpression can be used in a method to reference the value of a parameter that has been passed to the method.

The ParameterName property specifies the name of the parameter to reference.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example code defines a method that invokes Console.WriteLine to output the string parameter passed to the method. A CodeArgumentReferenceExpression references the argument passed to the method by method parameter name.

[Visual Basic] 
' Declare a method that accepts a string parameter named text.
Dim cmm As New CodeMemberMethod()
cmm.Parameters.Add(New CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("String", "text"))
cmm.Name = "WriteString"
cmm.ReturnType = New CodeTypeReference("System.Void")

' Create a method invoke statement to output the string passed to the method.
Dim cmie As New CodeMethodInvokeExpression(New CodeTypeReferenceExpression("Console"), "WriteLine", New CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text"))

' Add the method invoke expression to the method's statements collection.
cmm.Statements.Add(cmie)
        
' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
'        Private Sub WriteString(ByVal [text] As [String])
'            Console.WriteLine([text])
'        End Sub

[C#] 
// Declare a method that accepts a string parameter named text.
CodeMemberMethod cmm = new CodeMemberMethod();
cmm.Parameters.Add( new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("String", "text") );
cmm.Name = "WriteString";
cmm.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference("System.Void");        
        
// Create a method invoke statement to output the string passed to the method.
CodeMethodInvokeExpression cmie = new CodeMethodInvokeExpression( new CodeTypeReferenceExpression("Console"), "WriteLine", new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text") );

// Add the method invoke expression to the method's statements collection.
cmm.Statements.Add( cmie );
 
// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:        
//        private void WriteString(String text) 
//        {
//            Console.WriteLine(text);
//        }                         

[C++] 
// Declare a method that accepts a string parameter named text.
CodeMemberMethod* cmm = new CodeMemberMethod();
cmm->Parameters->Add(new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression(S"String", S"text"));
cmm->Name = S"WriteString";
cmm->ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference(S"System::Void");

CodeExpression* ce[] = {new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression(S"test1")}; 

// Create a method invoke statement to output the string passed to the method.
CodeMethodInvokeExpression* cmie = 
    new CodeMethodInvokeExpression(new CodeTypeReferenceExpression(S"Console"), 
    S"WriteLine", ce);

// Add the method invoke expression to the method's statements collection.
cmm->Statements->Add(cmie);

// A C++ code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
// private:
//     void WriteString(String text) {
//          Console::WriteLine(text);
//    }
