IExtenderProvider.CanExtend(Object) Method
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Specifies whether this object can provide its extender properties to the specified object.
public:
bool CanExtend(System::Object ^ extendee);public bool CanExtend (object extendee);abstract member CanExtend : obj -> boolPublic Function CanExtend (extendee As Object) As BooleanParameters
Returns
true if this object can provide extender properties to the specified object; otherwise, false.
