public:
static System::ComponentModel::TypeDescriptionProvider ^ AddAttributes(System::Object ^ instance, ... cli::array <Attribute ^> ^ attributes);
public static System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptionProvider AddAttributes (object instance, params Attribute[] attributes);
static member AddAttributes : obj * Attribute[] -> System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptionProvider
Public Shared Function AddAttributes (instance As Object, ParamArray attributes As Attribute()) As TypeDescriptionProvider
Parameters
- instance
- Object
An instance of the target component.
Returns
The newly created TypeDescriptionProvider that was used to add the specified attributes.
Exceptions
One or both of the parameters is null
.
Remarks
The AddAttributes(Object, Attribute[]) method adds class-level attributes to the specified instance of a component. Because this is a common requirement of applications using the Visual Studio Windows Forms Designer and Properties window, this method provides a shortcut by creating a type description provider that merges the provided attributes with the attributes that already exist on the class. The return value is the type description provider that was used to add the attributes. This provider can later be passed to the RemoveProvider(TypeDescriptionProvider, Object) method when the added attributes are no longer needed.
