Name

ReadOnlyAttribute

Synopsis

If you mark a property with this attribute, you can indicate whether it is read-only or read- write in the designer. Compare this with the DesignOnlyAttribute.

You can use the IsReadOnly property to determine the state of the attribute, but an instance of the attribute can also be compared against the Yes and No values for equality.

public sealed class ReadOnlyAttribute : Attribute {

// Public Constructors

   public ReadOnlyAttribute(bool isReadOnly);

// Public Static Fields

   public static readonly ReadOnlyAttribute Default;  // =System.ComponentModel.ReadOnlyAttribute

   public static readonly ReadOnlyAttribute No;  // =System.ComponentModel.ReadOnlyAttribute

   public static readonly ReadOnlyAttribute Yes;  // =System.ComponentModel.ReadOnlyAttribute

                  // Public Instance Properties

   public bool IsReadOnly{get; }

// Public Instance Methods

   public override bool Equals(object value);  // overrides Attribute

   public override int GetHashCode();  // overrides Attribute

   public override bool IsDefaultAttribute();  // overrides Attribute

}
