The name is used to identify the target property in various user interface contexts, such as when the property is shown in a PropertyGrid control.

The DisplayName property of this class gets the description string resource that is localized to the current culture. If a localized string is not available, then the DisplayName property returns the value of the DisplayNameKey property.

When you design a domain-specific language (DSL), the generated code applies this attribute to every property that corresponds to a domain property in the DSL definition.

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
