GeneratedCodeAttribute Class
.NET Framework 4.5
Identifies code generated by a tool. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.CodeDom.Compiler
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The GeneratedCodeAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | GeneratedCodeAttribute | Initializes a new instance of the GeneratedCodeAttribute class specifying the name and version of the tool that generated the code. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| 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.) |
The following code example shows the use of the GeneratedCodeAttribute class to identify computer-generated code.
using System; using System.CodeDom; using System.CodeDom.Compiler; public class CodeGenExample { static void Main() { // Declare a new type called Class1. CodeTypeDeclaration class1 = new CodeTypeDeclaration("Class1"); // Declare a new generated code attribute GeneratedCodeAttribute generatedCodeAttribute = new GeneratedCodeAttribute("SampleCodeGenerator", "2.0.0.0"); // Use the generated code attribute members in the attribute declaration CodeAttributeDeclaration codeAttrDecl = new CodeAttributeDeclaration(generatedCodeAttribute.GetType().Name, new CodeAttributeArgument( new CodePrimitiveExpression(generatedCodeAttribute.Tool)), new CodeAttributeArgument( new CodePrimitiveExpression(generatedCodeAttribute.Version))); class1.CustomAttributes.Add(codeAttrDecl); // Create a C# code provider CodeDomProvider provider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp"); // Generate code and send the output to the console provider.GenerateCodeFromType(class1, Console.Out, new CodeGeneratorOptions()); } } // The C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: // // [GeneratedCodeAttribute("SampleCodeGenerator", "2.0.0.0")] // public class Class1 { // }
