GetHashCode | Returns the has code for the current object instance. (Overrides Attribute.GetHashCode().) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
|

Remarks
Use this class to work around restrictions on the naming of properties on classes (for example, they cannot contain spaces). A DDEX provider should apply this attribute to any connection property for which these restrictions create problems.
For example, the connection string for the Microsoft SQL Server data provider includes a property called Integrated Security. On a class this must be named "IntegratedSecurity" since properties cannot contain spaces; thus, this attribute is used to define the correct name in the connection string as "Integrated Security".
Inherits from Attribute class.
