Syntax

Copy

public sealed class CustomAttributeDeclaration : MetadataDeclaration, 
	IAnnotationInstance, IAnnotationValue, IRemovable, IMetadataDeclaration, IDeclaration, 
	IElement, IModuleElement, ITaggable, ICloneableModuleElement

The CustomAttributeDeclaration type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	CustomAttributeDeclaration(IMethod)	Initializes a new instance of the CustomAttributeDeclaration type.
	CustomAttributeDeclaration(IAnnotationValue, ModuleDeclaration)	Initializes a new instance of the CustomAttributeDeclaration class

Properties

	Name	Description
	Constructor	Gets the custom attribute constructor.
	CustomDebuggingInformation	(Inherited from Declaration.)
	IsOriginal	Determines whether the current declaration existed in the source assembly. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	MetadataToken	Gets or sets the token of the current declaration. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	OriginalDeclaration	When the declaration represents another declaration in the source assembly, this property refers to this declaration. When using GetReflectionObject(Type[], Type[], BindingOptions), the original declaration should actually be retrieved. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	ParentMember	Gets the parent member of the current declaration. (Overrides MetadataDeclaration.ParentMember.)
	ParentType	Gets the parent type of the current declaration. (Overrides MetadataDeclaration.ParentType.)
	Symbol

Methods

	Name	Description
	ClearCache	Clear the cache (typically mapping to System.Reflection or, if the current element is a reference, to the related definition) of the current Element and all its children. (Inherited from Element.)
	Clone
	ConstructRuntimeObject	Gets the runtime object constructed from the current instance.
	Dispose	Obsolete. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetTag<T>	Gets a tag associated with the current declaration. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	GetTokenType	Gets the TokenType of the derived declaration. (Overrides MetadataDeclaration.GetTokenType().)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	InvalidateSerialization	Invalidates the original serialization. Indicates that the serialization should be computed again, if requested.
	Remove	Remove the current declaration from its parent.
	SetTag<T>	Set a tag to the current declaration. (Inherited from MetadataDeclaration.)
	ToString	(Overrides MetadataDeclaration.ToString().)
	Translate	Translates the custom attribute so that it can be used in another module.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	ConstructRuntimeObject()	Overloaded. Construct the instance (typically an object derived from Attribute) represented a given IAnnotationValue. This overload uses reflection to locate the constructor, and does not work if the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ConstructRuntimeObject(Type)	Overloaded. Construct the instance represented by a given IAnnotationValue, given its type passed as an argument. This overload is safe even when the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ConstructRuntimeObject(SerializedValueBindingOptions)	Overloaded. Construct the instance (typically an object derived from Attribute) represented a given IAnnotationValue, and specifies options. This overload uses reflection to locate the constructor, and does not work if the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ConstructRuntimeObject(Type, SerializedValueBindingOptions)	Overloaded. Construct the instance represented by a given IAnnotationValue, given its type passed as an argument, and specifies options. This overload is safe even when the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ConstructRuntimeObject<T>()	Overloaded. Construct the instance represented by a given IAnnotationValue, given its type passed as a generic argument. This overload is safe even when the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ConstructRuntimeObject<T>(SerializedValueBindingOptions)	Overloaded. Construct the instance represented by a given IAnnotationValue, given its type passed as a generic argument, and specifies options. This overload is safe even when the target framework is not .NET Framework. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	Render()	Overloaded. Renders a custom attribute value to a string. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	Render(StringBuilder)	Overloaded. Renders a custom attribute value to an existing StringBuilder. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	SetRuntimeObjectNamedArguments	Sets the fields and properties of an object (using reflection) given the named arguments of an IAnnotationValue. (Defined by CustomAttributeHelper.)
	ToObjectConstruction	Converts an IAnnotationValue into an ObjectConstruction. (Defined by AnnotationValueExtensions.)

Remarks

Any MetadataDeclaration can have custom attributes. They are exposed on the CustomAttributes property.

If you change any member of an instance of CustomAttributeDeclaration, you have to call the InvalidateSerialization() to force the custom attribute to be serialized again.
