The RequirementAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	RequirementAttribute	Initializes a new instance of the RequirementAttribute class.

Top

Properties

	Name	Description
	AllRequired	Gets a value indicating whether all requirement attributes of the same type are required.
	TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Top

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateSubscription	Returns a RequirementSubscription object that can be used to be notified when the requirement contained in this attribute has changed.
	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 it 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.)
	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	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	MeetsRequirement	Determines if the EditingContext meets the requirements specified in this 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.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfo	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.Invoke	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

Derive from the abstract RequirementAttribute class to specify requirements for your feature providers and feature connectors.

RequirementValidator inspects types for RequirementAttribute attributes. For each RequirementAttribute it finds, it calls the abstract MeetsRequirement method, passing an instance of the EditingContext class. Classes such as RequiresServiceAttribute derive from RequirementAttribute and check the context for the presence of a specified requirement.

This system allows the designer to activate only code that can successfully run in the editing context.

Define you custom requirements by deriving from RequirementAttribute and implementing the abstract MeetsRequirement method.

Examples

The following code example shows how to attach a custom surrogate policy to a feature provider by using UsesItemPolicyAttribute, which derives from RequirementAttribute. For a full code listing, see How to: Create a Surrogate Policy.

' The DockPanelAdornerProvider class implements an adorner
' that you can use to set the Margin property by using a 
' drag operation. The DockPanelPolicy class enables a 
' container policy for offering additional tasks and 
' adorners on the panel's children.
<UsesItemPolicy(GetType(DockPanelPolicy))>  _
Class DockPanelAdornerProvider
    Inherits AdornerProvider

    Public Sub New() 
        ' The adorner is a Rectangle element.
        Dim r As New Rectangle()
        r.Width = 23.0
        r.Height = 23.0
        r.Fill = AdornerColors.GlyphFillBrush

        ' Set the rectangle's placement in the adorner panel.
        AdornerPanel.SetAdornerHorizontalAlignment(r, AdornerHorizontalAlignment.OutsideLeft)
        AdornerPanel.SetAdornerVerticalAlignment(r, AdornerVerticalAlignment.OutsideTop)

        Dim p As New AdornerPanel()
        p.Children.Add(r)

        AdornerPanel.SetTask(r, New DockPanelMarginTask())

        Adorners.Add(p)
    End Sub
End Class

// The DockPanelAdornerProvider class implements an adorner
// that you can use to set the Margin property by using a 
// drag operation. The DockPanelPolicy class enables a 
// container policy for offering additional tasks and 
// adorners on the panel's children.
[UsesItemPolicy(typeof(DockPanelPolicy))]
class DockPanelAdornerProvider : AdornerProvider
{
    public DockPanelAdornerProvider() 
    {
        // The adorner is a Rectangle element.
        Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
        r.Width = 23.0;
        r.Height = 23.0;
        r.Fill = AdornerColors.GlyphFillBrush;

        // Set the rectangle's placement in the adorner panel.
        AdornerPanel.SetAdornerHorizontalAlignment(r, AdornerHorizontalAlignment.OutsideLeft);
        AdornerPanel.SetAdornerVerticalAlignment(r, AdornerVerticalAlignment.OutsideTop);

        AdornerPanel p = new AdornerPanel();
        p.Children.Add(r);

        AdornerPanel.SetTask(r, new DockPanelMarginTask());

        Adorners.Add(p);
    }
}

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
