Creating a class with CodeTypeDeclaration and adding members to it

Question

i am declaring a class with the help of CodeTypeDeclaration like this :

CodeTypeDeclaration targetClass = new CodeTypeDeclaration(sType);

I can add a constructor :

 CodeConstructor constructor = new CodeConstructor();
 constructor.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public;

Or a member field :

 CodeMemberField myField = new CodeMemberField();
 myField.Name = fieldName;
 myField.Type = new CodeTypeReference(fieldType);

 targetClass.Members.Add(myField);

But i am trying to add any kind of line , for example a constant declaration :

const addressFilteresErrorCounters: UInt32 = 0x0000AE77;

Can i do this without using CodeMemberField ? Maybe somehow i can add to the class a CodeSnippetStatement, so let's simply say , add some line to the class by the using the force and not filtering the declaration line with the CodeMemberField ?

Maybe smth like this :

    targetClass.Members.Add(new CodeSnippetStatement("var n = 2"));

Thanks.

No, it was just an example for the easy add. I couldn't do it, so now i am opening the file and i'm adding the needed lines manually. — Olaru Mircea, Mar 22 '13 at 11:05

You can't add a CodeSnippetStatement directly to a class. You can, however, add them to a CodeMemberMethod for example:

CodeMemberMethod method = new CodeMemberMethod();
method.Name = "DoSomething";
method.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public | MemberAttributes.Final;
method.Statements.Add(new CodeSnippetStatement("var n = 2;"));

Although you don't need to resort to a CodeSnippetStatement to add a constant. You can use:

CodeTypeDeclaration exampleClass = new CodeTypeDeclaration("GeneratedClass");
CodeMemberField constant = new CodeMemberField(new CodeTypeReference(typeof(System.UInt32)), "addressFilteresErrorCounters");
constant.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Const;
constant.InitExpression = new CodePrimitiveExpression(0x0000AE77);
exampleClass.Members.Add(constant);
