DepthOfCreateA Method (ExtensionMethodsCQLinqDependency)
NDepend.Reserved.CQLinq Namespace > ExtensionMethodsCQLinqDependency Class : DepthOfCreateA Method
This method.
The NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName of the instantiated type.
The string createdTypeFullName can contain wildcard '*' characters but cannot be just a single wildcard string "*".
If one or several types are matched by createdTypeFullName, this method has a creates an instance of any behavior.
Returns a non-null depth value, if method is creating, directly or indirectly, an instance of a type, whose NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName is createdTypeFullName. This method can only be called in a ICQLinqExecutionContext, otherwise the extension method NDepend.CodeModel.ExtensionMethodsSequenceUsage.NDepend.CodeModel.ExtensionMethodsSequenceUsage.DepthOfCreateAny must be used instead.
Syntax
[Extension()]

   IMethod method,
   string createdTypeFullName
)

Parameters

method
This method.
createdTypeFullName
The NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName of the instantiated type.
The string createdTypeFullName can contain wildcard '*' characters but cannot be just a single wildcard string "*".
If one or several types are matched by createdTypeFullName, this method has a creates an instance of any behavior.

Return Value

createdType being a NDepend.CodeModel.IType whose NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName is createdTypeFullName:
Returns null if method is not directly nor indirectly creating an instance of createdType.
Returns 0 if method is a constructor of createdType.
Returns 1 if method is calling a constructor of createdType.
Returns 2 if method is calling a method, that is calling a constructor of createdType.
...
If a non-null number is returned, returns the lowest possible number.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
System.NotImplementedExceptionThis extension method cannot be called from a program consuming NDepend.API. In such context, the extension method NDepend.CodeModel.ExtensionMethodsSequenceUsage.NDepend.CodeModel.ExtensionMethodsSequenceUsage.DepthOfCreateAny must be used instead.
Remarks
If one or several types are matched by createdTypeFullName, they will be listed in NDepend.CodeQuery.IQueryExecutionSuccessResult.TargetCodeElements.
In the context of a CQLinq compiled query, this method has a constant time complexity.
