.NET Framework Class Library
CustomTypeDescriptor Class

Provides a simple default implementation of the ICustomTypeDescriptor interface.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState := True)> _
Public MustInherit Class CustomTypeDescriptor _
    Implements ICustomTypeDescriptor
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As CustomTypeDescriptor
C#
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public abstract class CustomTypeDescriptor : ICustomTypeDescriptor
Visual C++
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public ref class CustomTypeDescriptor abstract : ICustomTypeDescriptor
JScript
public abstract class CustomTypeDescriptor implements ICustomTypeDescriptor
NoteNote:

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

Like TypeDescriptionProvider, the CustomTypeDescriptor class relies on a parent object of type ICustomTypeDescriptor supplied during construction. This allows classes that derive from CustomTypeDescriptor to selectively override methods.

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