How to Tell if a Parameter is ByVal or ByRef

[Charles Law]

Using the DTE code model, I can get a CodeParameter object for each
parameter to a given function. But how do I know whether it is a ByRef or
ByVal parameter? There doesn't appear to be any property of the
CodeParameter object that indicates this.

TIA

Charles, the more important distinction is whether or not the parameter is a
value type or a refernce type. B/c if it's a reference type, even if you
pass it by value, you're passing a reference which can be changed.

I agree that that is relevant, but at the moment I just want to be able
determine the ByVal / ByRef attribute so that I can auto-generate some
documentation.

Both distinctions are very important. There's still a big difference
between passing by reference and passing by value, even if you're
passing a reference.
