Given: SnapshotPoint snapshotPoint
Get: ITextSnapshot which the snapshotPoint refers to
ITextSnapshot snapshot = snapshotPoint.Value.Snapshot;Given: SnapshotPoint snapshotPoint
Get: ITextSnapshotLine at the line that contains snapshotPoint
ITextSnapshotLine snapshotLine = snapshotPoint.GetContainingLine();Given: ITextSnapshot snapshot
Get: ITextSnapshotLine at line number
ITextSnapshotLine snapshotLine = snapshot.GetLineFromLineNumber(42);Given: ITextSnapshotLine snapshotLine
Get: SnapshotPoint of where the line starts and ends
SnapshotPoint startPoint = snapshotLine.Start; // file-wise index number - can be used as int
SnapshotPoint endPoint = snapshotLine.End;Given: a pair of SnapshotPoint
Get: SnapshotSpan between them
var span = new SnapshotSpan(startPoint, endPoint);Given: ITextBuffer buffer, IClassifierAggregatorService classifierAggregatorService - obtain by MEF import
[Import]
internal IClassifierAggregatorService classifierAggregatorService = null;Get: IClassifier of the text buffer
IClassifier m_classifier = classifierAggregatorService.GetClassifier(buffer);Given: SnapshotSpan targetSpan, IClassifier m_classifier
Get: list of ClassificationSpan - within targetSpan, classified by a TokenTagger
var classificationSpans = m_classifier.GetClassificationSpans(targetSpan);Given: ClassificationSpan classificationSpan
Get: ClassificationType of it
var classificationType = classificationSpan.ClassificationType;Given: ClassificationType classificationType
Get: Classification name OR
Check: whether it is some certain type
string typeName = classificationType.Classification;
bool isComment = classificationType.IsOfType("comment");
