EventAttributes Enumeration

 

Specifies the attributes of an event.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace:   System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

<SerializableAttribute>
<FlagsAttribute>
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)>
Public Enumeration EventAttributes

Member nameDescription
None

Specifies that the event has no attributes.

ReservedMask

Specifies a reserved flag for common language runtime use only.

RTSpecialName

Specifies that the common language runtime should check name encoding.

SpecialName

Specifies that the event is special in a way described by the name.

EventAttributes values may be combined using the bitwise OR operation to get the appropriate combination.

These enums are defined in the corhdr.h file and are a combination of bits and enumerators.

The following example uses reflection emit to create a type with two events. It uses EventAttributes.None to specify that the events have no attributes.
