Public NotInheritable Class DesignerSerializerAttribute _

DesignerSerializerAttribute provides a way to indicate to the designer serialization manager that a specific type of serializer should be used when serializing the values of an object. This allows you to specify a serializer that is capable of serializing a custom type, for instance. Place this attribute on a class to indicate the serialization object to use when serializing the class.
The following code uses a DesignerSerializerAttribute to associate an example serializer with an example component.
<DesignerSerializerAttribute(GetType(ExampleSerializer), GetType(CodeDomSerializer))> _
Public Class ExampleControl
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
Public Sub New()
End Sub
End Class
[DesignerSerializerAttribute(typeof(ExampleSerializer), typeof(CodeDomSerializer))]
public class ExampleControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
public ExampleControl()
{
}
}
[DesignerSerializerAttribute(ExampleSerializer::typeid,CodeDomSerializer::typeid)]
public ref class ExampleControl: public UserControl
{
public:
ExampleControl()
{
}
};
