    ' Iterates through the main class and  
    ' lists its parts.

Remarks
With the introduction of blueprints and partial classes, there may be more than one CodeClass object per class that gets compiled. There is one instance of a CodeClass object for each class contained in a file. The CodeClass2 object can determine if it represents a partial or complete class, and whether it is implemented as an XML blueprint or as code. Edits or additions to the CodeClass2 object may only be written into this portion (and file) of the class.
Note
The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
