DebuggerVisualizerAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Diagnostics

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

DebuggerVisualizerAttribute.cs

Specifies that the type has a visualizer. This class cannot be inherited.

AttributeUsageAttribute

Remarks

This attribute can be used at the assembly level. Typically the attribute constructors take two types. The two types are a visualizer and a visualizer object source, specified as types or as fully qualified assembly type names. The second option is provided so that the visualizer assembly does not need to be referenced by the assembly containing the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute. This allows a component creator to ship the visualizer in a DLL to be called only at debug time. The Description property specifies the visualizer description that appears in the drop-down box. The target parameters specify the type that is the target of the visualizer. For more information about visualizers, see Create Custom Visualizers of Data.

Note

Visualizer and visualizer object source implementation is dependent upon the hosting debugger. For information on creating a visualizer for Visual Studio 2005, see How to: Write a Visualizer.

Constructors

DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(String)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type name of the visualizer.
DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type name of the visualizer and the type name of the visualizer object source.
DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(String, Type)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type name of the visualizer and the type of the visualizer object source.
DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(Type)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type of the visualizer.
DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(Type, String)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type of the visualizer and the type name of the visualizer object source.
DebuggerVisualizerAttribute(Type, Type)	Initializes a new instance of the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute class, specifying the type of the visualizer and the type of the visualizer object source.

Properties

Description	Gets or sets the description of the visualizer.
Target	Gets or sets the target type when the attribute is applied at the assembly level.
TargetTypeName	Gets or sets the fully qualified type name when the attribute is applied at the assembly level.
TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
VisualizerObjectSourceTypeName	Gets the fully qualified type name of the visualizer object source.
VisualizerTypeName	Gets the fully qualified type name of the visualizer.

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)
