Type..::.IsContextfulImpl Method

Implements the IsContextful property and determines whether the Type can be hosted in a context.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overridable Function IsContextfulImpl As Boolean
protected virtual bool IsContextfulImpl()
protected:
virtual bool IsContextfulImpl()
abstract IsContextfulImpl : unit -> bool 
override IsContextfulImpl : unit -> bool 

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type can be hosted in a context; otherwise, false.
Remarks

This method can be overridden by a derived class.

A context intercepts calls to the class members and enforce policies that are applied to the class, such as synchronization.

Examples

The following example demonstrates a use of the IsContextfulImpl method.
