AttributeUsageAttribute Class

Specifies the behavior of a custom attribute when that attribute is defined.

Syntax

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class)]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public sealed class AttributeUsageAttribute : Attribute

Remarks

Note: Custom attributes can be applied to various application ("target") elements, such as classes, parameters, and structures (see AttributeTargets for the full list). The AttributeUsageAttribute class contains three properties that govern custom attribute behavior: the kinds of application elements the attribute can be associated with; whether the attribute can or cannot be inherited by derived elements; and whether multiple instances of the attribute can or cannot be allowed on the same target element.
