ModuleInitializerAttribute Class

Definition

Used to indicate to the compiler that a method should be called in its containing module's initializer.

public ref class ModuleInitializerAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class ModuleInitializerAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited=false)>]
type ModuleInitializerAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute
Public NotInheritable Class ModuleInitializerAttribute

Remarks

When one or more valid methods with this attribute are found in a compilation, the compiler will emit a module initializer that calls each of the attributed methods.

Certain requirements are imposed on any method targeted with this attribute:

  • The method must be static.
  • The method must be an ordinary member method, as opposed to a property accessor, constructor, local function, and so on.
  • The method must be parameterless.
  • The method must return void.
  • The method must not be generic or be contained in a generic type.
  • The method's effective accessibility must be internal or public.

For more information, see the specification for module initializers.
