Remarks

In the simplest case, a derived class should add properties to its class and place component attributes on these properties to customize their behavior. In the more advanced case, a derived class can override the parsing and formatting code, and dynamically change any of the properties based on specific actions, such as setting the value of a property.

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.
