GeneratedCodeAttribute Class (System.CodeDom.Compiler)

.NET Framework Class Library

GeneratedCodeAttribute Class

Identifies code generated by a tool. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace: System.CodeDom.Compiler
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.All, Inherited := False, AllowMultiple := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class GeneratedCodeAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As GeneratedCodeAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.All, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class GeneratedCodeAttribute : Attribute

Visual C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::All, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)]
public ref class GeneratedCodeAttribute sealed : public Attribute

JScript

public final class GeneratedCodeAttribute extends Attribute

Remarks

The GeneratedCodeAttribute class can be used by code analysis tools to identify computer-generated code, and to provide an analysis based on the tool and the version of the tool that generated the code.

Examples

The following code example shows the use of the GeneratedCodeAttribute class to identify computer-generated code.

Visual Basic

Dim generatedCodeAttribute As New CodeAttributeDeclaration( _
    GetType(System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute).FullName, _
    New CodeAttributeArgument(New CodePrimitiveExpression("TypedDataSetGenerator")), _
    New CodeAttributeArgument(New CodePrimitiveExpression("2.0.0.0"))) nodeClass.CustomAttributes.Add(generatedCodeAttribute)

CodeAttributeDeclaration generatedCodeAttribute = 
      new CodeAttributeDeclaration( typeof(System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute).FullName, 
    new CodeAttributeArgument(
    new CodePrimitiveExpression("TypedDataSetGenerator" )), 
    new CodeAttributeArgument(
    new CodePrimitiveExpression("2.0.0.0")));typeDeclaration.CustomAttributes.Add(generatedCodeAttribute);
