![]() | GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | Match(Object) | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32) | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr) | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
The DebuggerDisplayAttribute constructor has a single argument: a string to be displayed in the value column for instances of the type. This string can contain braces ({ and }). The text within a pair of braces is evaluated as the name of a field, property, or method. For example, the following C# code causes "Count = 4" to be displayed when the plus sign (+) is selected to expand the debugger display for an instance of MyHashtable.
[DebuggerDisplay("Count = {count}")]
class MyHashtable
{
public int count = 4;
}
