Contract.Requires Method (Boolean)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Specifies a precondition contract for the enclosing method or property.
Namespace: System.Diagnostics.Contracts
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ConditionalAttribute("CONTRACTS_FULL")> _
Public Shared Sub Requires ( _
condition As Boolean _
)
[ConditionalAttribute("CONTRACTS_FULL")]
public static void Requires(
bool condition
)
Parameters
- condition
Type: System.Boolean
The conditional expression to test.
Remarks
This method call must be at the beginning of a method or property, before any other code.
This contract is exposed to clients; therefore, it must only reference members that are at least as visible as the enclosing method.
Use this method instead of the Contract.Requires<TException>(Boolean) method when backward compatibility does not force you to throw a particular exception.
