Constraint Class |
Root class for all constraints based on MulticastAttribute.
A constraint is a piece validation logic executed at build time. Constraints
are applied to elements of code ((Assembly, Type,
MethodInfo, ConstructorInfo, PropertyInfo,
EventInfo, FieldInfo, ParameterInfo)
typically using multicast custom attributes, and verified
at build time for every assembly using this element of code.

SyntaxC#
public abstract class Constraint : MulticastAttribute, IConstraint
The Constraint type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Constraint | Initializes a new instance of the Constraint class |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AttributeExclude |
If true, indicates that this attribute removes all other instances of the
same attribute type from the set of elements defined by the current instance.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeInheritance |
Determines whether this attribute is inherited
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributePriority |
Gets or sets the priority of the current attribute in case that multiple
instances are defined on the same element (lower values are processed before).
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeReplace |
Determines whether this attribute replaces other attributes found on the
target declarations.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetAssemblies |
Gets or sets the assemblies to which the current attribute apply.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetElements |
Gets or sets the kind of elements to which this custom attributes applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetExternalMemberAttributes |
Gets or sets the visibilities, scopes, virtualities, and implementation
of members to which this attribute applies, when the member is external to the current module.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetExternalTypeAttributes |
Gets or sets the visibilities of types to which this attribute applies,
when this type is external to the current module.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetMemberAttributes |
Gets or sets the visibilities, scopes, virtualities, and implementation
of members to which this attribute applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetMembers |
Gets or sets the expression specifying to which members
this instance applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetParameterAttributes |
Gets or sets the passing style (by value, out or ref)
of parameters to which this attribute applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetParameters |
Gets or sets the expression specifying to which parameters
this instance applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetTypeAttributes |
Gets or sets the visibilities of types to which this attribute applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
| AttributeTargetTypes |
Gets or sets the expression specifying to which types
this instance applies.
(Inherited from MulticastAttribute.) |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ValidateConstraint |
Validates the fact that the constraint has been applied on a valid element of code. When this
method returns false, the constraint is silently ignored.
