    Inherits Attribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = true)]

The AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute(String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute class with the server name and the path to the Web application.
	AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute(String, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute class with the server name, the path to the Web application, and the Web application root.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Name	Gets the name of the ASP.NET Development Server.
	PathToWebApp	Gets the path to the Web application.
	TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	WebAppRoot	Gets the Web application root.

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

When you run a test with an AspNetDevelopmentServerAttribute, an ASP.NET Development Server instance is started. You can then use TryUrlRedirection to redirect a Web service object so it points to that server instead of what is defined in the Web reference. By pointing to the server, you can ensure that an ASP.NET Development Server site is started and at a known URL when you run a Web service test.

This attribute targets methods. Multiple instances of this attribute may be applied to a method.

For more information about how to use attributes, see Extending Metadata Using Attributes.

Thread Safety

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