Remarks

CodeMethodReturnStatement can be used to represent a return value statement. The Expression property specifies the value to return.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example demonstrates use of a CodeMethodReturnStatement to return a value from a method.

[Visual Basic] 
' Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
Dim method1 As New CodeMemberMethod()
method1.Name = "ReturnString"
method1.ReturnType = New CodeTypeReference("System.String")
method1.Parameters.Add(New CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text"))
method1.Statements.Add(New CodeMethodReturnStatement(New CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text")))

' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

'   Private Function ReturnString(ByVal [text] As String) As String
'       Return [Text]
'   End Function

[C#] 
// Defines a method that returns a string passed to it.
CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();            
method1.Name = "ReturnString";
method1.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference("System.String");
method1.Parameters.Add( new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "text") );
method1.Statements.Add( new CodeMethodReturnStatement( new CodeArgumentReferenceExpression("text") ) );            

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

//    private string ReturnString(string text) 
//    {
//        return text;
//    }
