Syntax

'Declaration
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class Or AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class DisplayNameResourceAttribute _
    Inherits DisplayNameAttribute

'Usage
Dim instance As DisplayNameResourceAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class|AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class DisplayNameResourceAttribute : DisplayNameAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Class|AttributeTargets::Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public ref class DisplayNameResourceAttribute sealed : public DisplayNameAttribute

public final class DisplayNameResourceAttribute extends DisplayNameAttribute

Remarks

The name is used to identify the target property in various user interface contexts, such as when the property is shown in a PropertyGrid control.

The DisplayName property of this class gets the description string resource that is localized to the current culture. If a localized string is not available, then the DisplayName property returns the value of the DisplayNameKey property.

When you design a domain-specific language (DSL), the generated code applies this attribute to every property that corresponds to a domain property in the DSL definition.
