Class StdLibMemberAttribute

Namespace
RDCore.SDK.Runtime.Abstract.StdLib
Assembly
RDCore.SDK.dll

Declares what a standard-library member looks like to VBA source, where its C# signature cannot say so on its own.

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)]
public sealed class StdLibMemberAttribute : Attribute
Inheritance
StdLibMemberAttribute
Inherited Members

Remarks

Everything this attribute carries has a default drawn from the signature, so it is needed only where the signature and the VBA declaration genuinely diverge - a name C# cannot spell, an accessor kind a signature cannot express, or a return type that is a class or an enumeration rather than an intrinsic. A member without it is a Sub or Function of the same name.

Constructors

StdLibMemberAttribute(string?)

Declares what a standard-library member looks like to VBA source, where its C# signature cannot say so on its own.

public StdLibMemberAttribute(string? name = null)

Parameters

name string

The member's name in VBA source, when it differs from the name of the method declaring it.

Remarks

Everything this attribute carries has a default drawn from the signature, so it is needed only where the signature and the VBA declaration genuinely diverge - a name C# cannot spell, an accessor kind a signature cannot express, or a return type that is a class or an enumeration rather than an intrinsic. A member without it is a Sub or Function of the same name.

Fields

NoUserMemId

What UserMemId is when the member states none.

public const int NoUserMemId = -2147483648

Field Value

int

Properties

IsHidden

Whether the member is hidden: it resolves like any other, and is left out of a completion list.

public bool IsHidden { get; init; }

Property Value

bool

Kind

Which kind of member this is, for the kinds a signature cannot express. Procedure by default.

public StdLibMemberKind Kind { get; init; }

Property Value

StdLibMemberKind

Name

The member's name in VBA source, or null to use the name of the method declaring it.

public string? Name { get; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

Needed where a VBA name is not a C# identifier, or where two members differ only in ways C# overload resolution cannot see. Both happen at once in the $-suffixed pairs (MS-VBAL §6.1.2.3.1): Hex and Hex$ take the same argument and differ only in return type, so they are two differently-named methods, one of which says here what it is really called.

ReturnType

The type VBA source sees this member return, when that is a standard-library class or enumeration rather than an intrinsic type.

public Type? ReturnType { get; init; }

Property Value

Type

Remarks

Either an interface carrying StdLibClassAttribute - the class whose instance is returned - or an enumeration carrying StdLibEnumAttribute. The signature's own RuntimeSemanticsEvaluationResult<TValue> still states the value an implementation produces, which for these is a VBObjectValue and a VBLongValue respectively; this states what the declared type is called. null - the default - takes the declared type from the signature.

UserMemId

The member's VB_UserMemId: WellKnownDispIds.Value (0) for the default member of its class, WellKnownDispIds.NewEnum (-4) for its enumeration member. NoUserMemId - the default - for neither.

public int UserMemId { get; init; }

Property Value

int

Remarks

The attribute of a workspace class module says the same thing in source (Attribute Item.VB_UserMemId = 0), and is what the symbols of that are stamped with: this is the library's own way to say it, so that a Collection is found enumerable the way a class of the workspace is.
