ValueSerializerAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Markup

Assembly:

System.ObjectModel.dll

Source:

ValueSerializerAttribute.cs

Identifies the ValueSerializer class that a type or property should use when it is serialized.

public ref class ValueSerializerAttribute sealed : Attribute

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Method | System.AttributeTargets.Property | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=true)]
public sealed class ValueSerializerAttribute : Attribute

[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Method | System.AttributeTargets.Property | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=true)>]
type ValueSerializerAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute

Remarks

For a type, you apply the ValueSerializerAttribute attribute at the type level. For a property, you apply the ValueSerializerAttribute attribute at the property level. Application at the property level potentially overrides any previous declaration for that property's type as applied at the type level.

A ValueSerializer can be associated with an attachable member by applying the ValueSerializerAttribute attribute on the static get accessor method for the attachable member.

Value serialization is also applicable for enumerations, interfaces, and structures, but not for delegates.

In early versions of .NET Framework, this class existed in the WPF-specific assembly WindowsBase. In .NET Framework 4, ValueSerializerAttribute was moved to the System.Xaml assembly. For more information, see Types Migrated from WPF to System.Xaml.

Constructors

ValueSerializerAttribute(String)	Initializes a new instance of the ValueSerializerAttribute class, using an assembly qualified type name string.
ValueSerializerAttribute(Type)	Initializes a new instance of the ValueSerializerAttribute class, using the specified type.

Properties

TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
ValueSerializerType	Gets the type of the ValueSerializer class reported by this attribute.
ValueSerializerTypeName	Gets the assembly qualified name of the ValueSerializer type for this type or property.

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)
