Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method 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.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

Arguments can be grouped together to form valid overload groups. An overload group cannot be a subset or an equivalent set of another overload group. The only exception to this rule is a subset that contains only arguments where IsRequired is false. Overload groups can overlap but it is an error if the intersection of the groups contains all the required arguments of one or both the overload groups.

An overload group is considered bound if all the IsRequired arguments in the group are bound. If a group has zero IsRequired arguments and at least one argument bound, then the group is considered bound. It is an error if none of the groups are bound unless one overload group has no IsRequired arguments in it. Binding IsRequired arguments from more than one overload group is not permitted. It is an error to have more than one overload group bound, that is, all required arguments in one overload group are bound and any argument in another overload group is also bound.

Any violation of the preceding rules results in a InvalidWorkflowException being thrown when the containing activity is prepared for execution.

The RuntimeArgument.IsRequired is set to true if the System.Activities.RequiredArgumentAttribute is applied to an argument.
