DesignerGeneratedAttribute Class

When applied to a class, the compiler implicitly calls a component-initializing method from the default synthetic constructor.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualBasic (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple := False, Inherited := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class DesignerGeneratedAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As DesignerGeneratedAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public sealed class DesignerGeneratedAttribute : Attribute

Visual C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Class, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public ref class DesignerGeneratedAttribute sealed : public Attribute

JScript

public final class DesignerGeneratedAttribute extends Attribute

Remarks

This attribute instructs the compiler to implicitly calls a private InitializeComponent method from the default synthetic constructor. The compiler will also verify that this method is called from user defined constructors and report a warning or error it is not. The Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment will honor this attribute when generating code on behalf of the user.
