Class SupportedLanguage

Namespace

RDCore.SDK.Workspace

Assembly

RDCore.SDK.dll

A language the platform serves: what it is called to a client, which files are written in it, and what the environment it runs in is like - which is what tells one dialect of the family from another.

public class SupportedLanguage

Inheritance

object

SupportedLanguage

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.MemberwiseClone()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

Remarks

The platform is one implementation of the MS-VBAL semantics for several members of the BASIC family (SupportedLanguages), and a language is the dialect table behind it: the pieces a dialect decides stay behind this type rather than being re-decided wherever they matter.

Constructors

SupportedLanguage(string, string, params string[])

Creates the definition of a language.

public SupportedLanguage(string id, string name, params string[] fileTypes)

Parameters

id string

The language identifier a client names the language by (languageId).

name string

What the language is called.

fileTypes string[]

The patterns of the files written in it.

Properties

FileTypes

The patterns of the files written in the language.

public string[] FileTypes { get; }

Property Value

string[]

FilterString

The patterns of the files written in the language, as a document filter pattern.

public string FilterString { get; }

Property Value

string

HasBarePrint

Whether a Print statement with no file number - Print "x" - is a statement of the language.

public bool HasBarePrint { get; init; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks

In VB6 it is the Print member of the form or report it is written in, so it exists only where there is one. A BASIC has it as its own: it writes to the output of the program.

In VBA Print is a reserved identifier: it is illegal as the name of anything, it has no semantics, and it is not a recognized statement inside a procedure. Only the Immediate window accepts a bare Print, where it writes what Debug.Print does - and the Immediate window is not procedure scope.

HasOptionExplicit

Whether the language has the Option Explicit directive (MS-VBAL §5.2.1.3), with which a module requires that every name it uses is declared.

public bool HasOptionExplicit { get; init; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks

VBA and VB6 do. A BASIC does not: a variable is whatever a line first assigns, which is what makes it a language to type in a line at a time, and a module of it cannot state a directive that it has no way to write. Whether a module states it is not something to have an opinion about, then.

Id

The language identifier a client names the language by (languageId).

public string Id { get; }

Property Value

string

ImplicitDeclarationScope

Where the variable that a reference to an undeclared name declares lives (MS-VBAL §5.6.10).

public ImplicitDeclarationScope ImplicitDeclarationScope { get; init; }

Property Value

ImplicitDeclarationScope

Remarks

Procedure - a local of the procedure - is VBA's and VB6's. Module is a BASIC's: a variable of the module, so that what one line assigns the next one reads.

Name

What the language is called.

public string Name { get; }

Property Value

string

Methods

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string

A string that represents the current object.

ToTextDocumentSelector()

The selector of the documents written in the language.

public TextDocumentSelector ToTextDocumentSelector()

Returns

TextDocumentSelector
