Parameter General Editor

Name

Name of the parameter. Parameter names must start with a capital letter and can contain only alphanumeric characters.

Type

Data type of the method.

Generic types are supported. For information on how to use generic types, refer to Generics (C# Programming Guide)

If an array is desired, append opening and closing square brakets ([]) to the type name. For example, to specify an array of double, enter Double[].

Tip
The following syntax can be used in the Type text box to create a new enum type and use that enum as the type all in one operation: new enum TriggerSource; Internal = 2, External = 0x15, Software = 47 See the topic Defining New Data Types Inline for more information on this feature.

Direction

Choose Input to specify an input parameter.

Choose Output to specify an output parameter.

Choose Input/Output to specify an input/output parameter.

Choose VarArgs (params) to specify a variable-length list of parameters.

Allow null

By default, Nimbus will automatically generate parameter validation code that raises a NullReferenceException if null is passed for any reference-type parameters to this method. Checking this box causes Nimbus to decorate this parameter with a NullAllowed attribute, which suppresses the standard null reference check for this parameter without affecting null reference checking that may be performed for other parameters to this method.
