public sealed class ContractClassForAttribute : Attribute
The ContractClassForAttribute type exposes the following members.
Constructors
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
ContractClassForAttribute | Initializes a new instance of the ContractClassForAttribute class, specifying the type the current class is a contract for. |
Top
Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
TypeContractsAreFor | Gets the type that this code contract applies to. |
Top
Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Match | 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.) |

Remarks
Types that are marked with this attribute represent a code contract for another type. The type that the contract applies to is specified in the constructor.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the ContractClassForAttribute attribute to specify the contracts for another type. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ContractClassAttribute class.
[ContractClassFor(typeof(IArray))]
internal abstract class IArrayContract : IArray
{
int IArray.Add(Object value)
{
// Returns the index in which an item was inserted.
Contract.Ensures(Contract.Result<int>() >= -1);
Contract.Ensures(Contract.Result<int>() < ((IArray)this).Count);
return default(int);
}
Object IArray.this[int index]
{
get
{
Contract.Requires(index >= 0);
Contract.Requires(index < ((IArray)this).Count);
return default(int);
}
set
{
Contract.Requires(index >= 0);
Contract.Requires(index < ((IArray)this).Count);
}
}
public int Count
{
get
{
Contract.Requires(Count >= 0);
Contract.Requires(Count < ((IArray)this).Count);
return default(int);
}
}
void IArray.Clear()
{
Contract.Ensures(((IArray)this).Count == 0);
}
void IArray.Insert(int index, Object value)
{
Contract.Requires(index >= 0);
Contract.Requires(index <= ((IArray)this).Count); // For inserting immediately after the end.
Contract.Ensures(((IArray)this).Count == Contract.OldValue(((IArray)this).Count) + 1);
}
void IArray.RemoveAt(int index)
{
Contract.Requires(index >= 0);
Contract.Requires(index < ((IArray)this).Count);
Contract.Ensures(((IArray)this).Count == Contract.OldValue(((IArray)this).Count) - 1);
}
}
