CustomConstantAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Defines a constant value that a compiler can persist for a field or method parameter.

public ref class CustomConstantAttribute abstract : Attribute

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Parameter, Inherited=false)]
public abstract class CustomConstantAttribute : Attribute

[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Parameter, Inherited=false)>]
type CustomConstantAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute

Remarks

You can apply this attribute to fields or parameters.

This class cannot be instantiated.

Compilers should create specific classes, derived from this class, that define the type of the constant value. For example, see the DateTimeConstantAttribute, which allows a compiler to persist an 8-byte DateTime constant for a field or method parameter. If you are using System.Reflection, this pattern of deriving specific classes from CustomConstantAttribute enables you to find all occurrences of custom constant attributes easily.

The classes in System.Runtime.CompilerServices are for compiler writers' use only.

Constructors

CustomConstantAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the CustomConstantAttribute class.

Properties

TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
Value	Gets the constant value stored by this attribute.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
