AddInContractAttribute Class

.NET Framework 3.5

Other Versions

Identifies an object as a add-in contract segment of the pipeline.

Namespace: System.AddIn.Pipeline
Assembly: System.AddIn.Contract (in System.AddIn.Contract.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Interface)]
public sealed class AddInContractAttribute : Attribute

Remarks

The Rebuild and Update methods, which maintain the store of information about available pipeline segments, use this attribute to identify a contract.

This attribute should be used only on types that activate the segments of the pipeline. Types that represent objects passed between the host and the add-in do not need this attribute.

Examples

The following example identifies a contract.

// The AddInContractAttribute identifes this pipeline segment as a  
// contract.
[AddInContract]
public interface ICalc1Contract : IContract
{
