This is the abstract base for classes that represent the member of class, such as properties and events (e.g., PropertyDescriptor and EventDescriptor ). You can get the Name and DisplayName of the member. In addition, you can get the collection of Attributes adorning the member. It also provides a set of utility accessors that indicate the values of particular attribute types: the Category , Description , DesignTimeOnly , and IsBrowsable members . public abstract class MemberDescriptor { // Protected Constructors protected MemberDescriptor (MemberDescriptor descr ); protected MemberDescriptor (MemberDescriptor oldMemberDescriptor , Attribute[] newAttributes ); protected MemberDescriptor (string name ); protected MemberDescriptor (string name , Attribute[] attributes ); // Public Instance Properties public virtual AttributeCollection Attributes {get; } public virtual string Category {get; } public virtual string Description {get; } public virtual bool DesignTimeOnly {get; } public virtual string DisplayName {get; } public virtual bool IsBrowsable {get; } public virtual string Name {get; } // Protected Instance Properties protected virtual Attribute[] AttributeArray {set; get; } protected virtual int NameHashCode {get; } // Protected Static Methods protected static MethodInfo FindMethod (Type componentClass , string name , Type[] args , Type returnType ); protected static MethodInfo FindMethod (Type componentClass , string name , Type[] args , Type returnType , bool publicOnly ); protected static object GetInvokee (Type componentClass , object component ); protected static ISite GetSite (object component ); // Public Instance Methods public override bool Equals (object obj ); // overrides object public override int GetHashCode (); // overrides object // Protected Instance Methods protected virtual AttributeCollection CreateAttributeCollection (); protected virtual void FillAttributes (System.Collections.IList attributeList ); } SubclassesEventDescriptor , PropertyDescriptor Passed ToEventDescriptor.EventDescriptor() , PropertyDescriptor.PropertyDescriptor() |
