type
Type: System::Type^

The Type of the target component.

An array of Attribute objects to add to the component's class.

Type: System.ComponentModel::TypeDescriptionProvider^

The newly created TypeDescriptionProvider that was used to add the specified attributes.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

One or both of the parameters is null.

The AddAttributes(Type^, array<Attribute^>^) method adds class-level attributes to the specified type of a component. Because this is a common requirement of applications using the Visual Studio Windows Forms Designer and Properties window, this method provides a shortcut by creating a type description provider that merges the provided attributes with the attributes that already exist on the class. The return value is the type description provider that was used to add the attributes. This provider can later be passed to the RemoveProvider(TypeDescriptionProvider^, Type^) method when the added attributes are no longer needed.
