Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    contractType As Type _
)

public ImportAttribute(
    Type contractType
)

Parameters

  • contractType
    Type: System.Type
    The type to derive the contract name of the export from, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) to use the default contract name.

Remarks

The contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on contractType.

The default contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on the property, field, or parameter type that is marked with this attribute.

The contract name is compared by using the Ordinal property to perform a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparison.
