ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute Class
Specifies the method to call when you unregister an assembly for use from COM; this allows for the execution of user-written code during the unregistration process.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute() | Initializes a new instance of the ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | 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.) |
You can apply this attribute to methods.
ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute enables you to add code that reverses the operations performed by a registration method. If you apply the ComRegisterFunctionAttribute to provide a registration method, you must also provide an unregistration method to reverse the operations done in the registration method. You can have only one unregistration method for a class.
The common language runtime calls the method with this attribute when its containing assembly is unregistered (directly or indirectly) with the Regasm.exe (Assembly Registration Tool) or through the RegistrationServices.UnregisterAssembly API method. Methods with this attribute can have any visibility (public, private, and so on), but must be static and must take a single Type parameter for the Type to unregister.
The following example demonstrates applying ComRegisterFunctionAttribute and ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute to methods with the appropriate signature.

Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
