ClientPropertyAttribute Class

Custom Team Foundation attribute which may be used to attribute server objects to modify the visibility for the client-side objects generated. The property name may be overridden by passing in a property name. The resulting field name will be the property name with the first character converted to its lower case form, prefixed by 'm_'. A property with Private visibility will not generate a property at all. This mechanism may be used to avoid generating extraneous properties.

The ClientPropertyAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  Name Description
Public method ClientPropertyAttribute()
Public method ClientPropertyAttribute(ClientVisibility) Constructor which specifies both the get/set visibilities as the same value.
Public method ClientPropertyAttribute(ClientVisibility, ClientVisibility) Constructor which allows a specification of differing visibility for each of the get and set methods of a property.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property Direction Returns the direction associated with this attribute. The default is Bidirectional.
Public property GetterVisibility Returns the client visibility specified in the attribute. The default is Public.
Public property PropertyName Returns the property name if one was supplied. If a property name is not supplied then the name of the property or field is used by default.
Public property SetterVisibility Returns the client visibility specified in the attribute. The default is Public.
Public property TypeId When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public property UseClientDefinedProperty Specifies whether to generate a field and use it (the default), or to refer to a named Property, assumed to pre-exist on the client. This is very handy when we wish the client inheritance not to mimic the server inheritance, or when we want to insert code between the generated code and member access.

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method 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.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

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