Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Gets a hash code for this instance. (Overrides Attribute.GetHashCode().)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method 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.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Foreign content refers to cases where the type system constraints on the type of the content property do not capture all of the possible content cases that XAML usage for the owning type would support. For example, XAML support for content of a particular type might support strings in a strongly typed generic Collection<T>.

InlineCollection is an example of a WPF class that has the ContentWrapperAttribute attribute applied. In this case there are two separate attributed wrapper classes.

In previous versions of the .NET Framework, this class existed in the WPF-specific assembly WindowsBase. In .NET Framework version 4, ContentWrapperAttribute is in the System.Xaml assembly. For more information, see Types Migrated from WPF to System.Xaml.
