	ToString	Render the type of the code object and its description as a string. (Inherited from CodeObject.)
	UpdateAllDeclExpressions	Recursively update the dictionary of names in the specified Block by either adding or removing (as specified by the 2nd parameter) all appropriate nested INamedCodeObjects expressions in the current CodeObject tree (specifically implemented for LocalDeclExpr expression objects). (Inherited from CodeObject.)
	UpdateLineCol	Update the line and column numbers according to the current positions in the CodeWriter, if the UpdateLineCol flag is set. (Inherited from CodeObject.)

Remarks

In contrast, an OpenTypeParameterRef represents a reference to a TypeParameter (or GenericParameter /Type) from outside the generic type or method declaration that declares it, and is a temporary placeholder that should be resolved to either a concrete type or a TypeParameterRef. Like a TypeRef, a TypeParameterRef can include array ranks. It subclasses TypeRef in order to provide this functionality, although it doesn't support type arguments.
