AttributeCollection

Synopsis

This class, used by the TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes( ) method, represents a collection of Attribute objects.

In addition to the basic collection functionality, you can use the Contains() method to determine whether a particular attribute or array of attributes is represented in the collection. Alternatively, you can use the Matches() method to determine whether the collection contains attributes with exactly matching attribute data.

public class AttributeCollection : ICollection, IEnumerable {

// Public Constructors

   public AttributeCollection(Attribute[] attributes);

// Public Static Fields

   public static readonly AttributeCollection Empty;  // =System.ComponentModel.AttributeCollection

                  // Public Instance Properties

   public virtual Attribute this{get; }

   public virtual Attribute this{get; }

// Public Instance Methods

   public bool Contains(Attribute attribute);

   public bool Contains(Attribute[] attributes);

   public void CopyTo(Array array, int index);  // implements ICollection
