Parameters

  • contractName
    Type: System.String
    The contract name of the export to import, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string ("") to use the default contract name.

The default contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on the property, field, or parameter type that is marked with this attribute.

The contract name is compared by using the Ordinal property to perform a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparison.
