[ConditionalAttribute("CONTRACTS_FULL")]

	bool condition
)

Parameters

condition
Type: System.Boolean

The conditional expression to test.

  • This method call must be at the beginning of a method or property, before any other code.

  • This contract is exposed to clients; therefore, it must only reference members that are at least as visible as the enclosing method.

  • Use this method instead of the Contract.Requires<TException>(Boolean) method when backward compatibility does not force you to throw a particular exception.
