C#
[SerializableAttribute] [AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false)] public sealed class TestClassAttribute : Attribute
Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute] [AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Class, AllowMultiple = false)] public ref class TestClassAttribute sealed : public Attribute
F#

JScript
public final class TestClassAttribute extends Attribute
The TestClassAttribute type exposes the following members.

Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
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.) |
|
|
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Explicit Interface Implementations
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
|
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
|
_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
|
_Attribute.Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
Remarks
Test methods marked with the TestMethodAttribute are unavailable if the class that contains them is not marked with the TestClassAttribute. The test class is not valid without the TestClassAttribute.
This attribute can be specified on a class. Only one instance of this attribute may be applied to a class.
By default, this attribute is used in generated code.
