Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class|AttributeTargets.Interface, AllowMultiple = true, 
	Inherited = true)]
[ObsoleteAttribute("This attribute has been deprecated. Use DesignerSerializerAttribute instead.  For example, to specify a root designer for CodeDom, use DesignerSerializerAttribute(...,typeof(TypeCodeDomSerializer)).  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202")]
public sealed class RootDesignerSerializerAttribute : Attribute

The RootDesignerSerializerAttribute type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property Reloadable Gets a value indicating whether the root serializer supports reloading of the design document without first disposing the designer host.
Public property SerializerBaseTypeName Gets the fully qualified type name of the base type of the serializer.

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)

RootDesignerSerializerAttribute indicates the serializer to use when the serialization manager serializes the design document, and whether the specified serializer supports automatic reloading of the design document without first completely disposing of the document.

This attribute contains the following significant members:

  • SerializerTypeName indicates what serialization object to use to serialize the class at design time.

  • SerializerBaseTypeName indicates the fully qualified name of the serialization object's base type.

  • Reloadable indicates whether the serializer supports reloading a design document without user interaction to open a new designer view.

The following example code applies a RootDesignerSerializerAttribute to a component.


[DesignerSerializer(typeof(MyCodeDomSerializer), typeof(CodeDomSerializer))]
public class MyComponent : Component {
    private string localProperty = "Component Property Value";
    public string LocalProperty {
        get {
            return localProperty;
        }
        set {
            localProperty = value;
        }
    }
}
