AttributeTargets Enumeration

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies the application elements on which it is valid to apply an attribute.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
<FlagsAttribute> _
Public Enumeration AttributeTargets

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[FlagsAttribute]
public enum AttributeTargets

Members

	Member name	Description
	Assembly	Attribute can be applied to an assembly.
	Module	Attribute can be applied to a module. Note: Module refers to a portable executable file (.dll or.exe) and not a Visual Basic standard module.
	Class	Attribute can be applied to a class.
	Struct	Attribute can be applied to a structure; that is, a value type.
	Enum	Attribute can be applied to an enumeration.
	Constructor	Attribute can be applied to a constructor.
	Method	Attribute can be applied to a method.
	Property	Attribute can be applied to a property.
	Field	Attribute can be applied to a field.
	Event	Attribute can be applied to an event.
	Interface	Attribute can be applied to an interface.
	Parameter	Attribute can be applied to a parameter.
	Delegate	Attribute can be applied to a delegate.
	ReturnValue	Attribute can be applied to a return value.
	GenericParameter	Attribute can be applied to a generic parameter. Note: Currently, this attribute can be applied only in C#, Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL), and emitted code.
	All	Attribute can be applied to any application element.

Remarks

The AttributeUsageAttribute class uses this enumeration to specify the kind of element on which it is valid to apply an attribute.

AttributeTargets enumeration values can be combined with a bitwise OR operation to get the preferred combination.

Examples

The following example illustrates the application of attributes to various targets.

Note:
Visual Basic syntax currently does not support the application of attributes to type parameters.
