Remarks

You can use this attribute to decorate a class to identify the creation tool that should be used to create an instance of that type. You can specify the CreationTool that should be used in the constructor for this class. You can also indicate nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if you want the default CreationTool to be suppressed.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
