Visual Studio addin - get the whole code

Question

I write a Add-in for visual studio 2010.

I want to copy the code in a variable like:

string code = _applicationObject.ActiveWindow.xxx();

//instead of xxx() i want the written code.

code = MyFormatCodeFunction(code);

_applicationObject.ActiveWindow.yyy();

// instead of yyy() i want to set the formatted code

Answer 1

No ideas?

Answer 2

It isn't clear what you are asking for.  What do you mean 'copy code in a variable'? In the example you show there is no variable, there is a method invocation on the ActiveWindow object. You would need to be more explicit in what you are trying to do in order for someone to offer advice.

Answer 3

I think you are looking for the code model which you can access the code in the editor (document). You can get the exact code of a method there and write back after modifing.

Get started from Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual C#)
