Help with "Need context for this rendered construct in order to render it's text"

[Jim]

I have been trying to clear this error for a couple of days and have no idea what could be causing it.  It appears that it's having a problem rendering the CodeMarker for the exception that it has found. 

I can upload the entire method, if necessary.    This is causing justCode Problems and the exception window to open.  I don't think that I need to send this to Telerik as I think that it may be my code causing the problem.

Please help!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. Such exception can occur if you have created a new method in the file model and then you are trying to get its text.
I would like to suggest to not use the "Text" property of a IConstruct if not absolutely necessary. It can be slow and potentially can cause problems like the one you have right now. In your case there are two ways to check whether a given type equals another.

1. Use the "Is" method of IType:

var hasObjectType = method.TypeName.Type.Is("System.Object");
var hasStringType = method.TypeName.Type.Is("System.String");
string myFullyQualifiedType = "MyCompany.SomeNamespace.NeededType"
var hasNeededType = method.TypeName.Type.Is(myFullyQualifiedType);

     2.  Use the "Equals" method of IType

var hasObjectType = method.TypeName.Type.Equals(method.ObjectTypeAtThisLocation());

If you, however, want to use the "Text" property, you can send us your extension so we can identify your problem and help you with it.
If you have any questions or remarks, please do not hesitate to contact us again!
