InputDescriptor Class

Describes a single input of a data generator.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data.DataGenerator
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data (in microsoft.visualstudio.teamsystem.data.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class InputDescriptor
    Implements IXmlSerializable
'Usage
Dim instance As InputDescriptor

[CLSCompliantAttribute(true)] 
public sealed class InputDescriptor : IXmlSerializable

[CLSCompliantAttribute(true)] 
public ref class InputDescriptor sealed : IXmlSerializable

/** @attribute CLSCompliantAttribute(true) */ 
public final class InputDescriptor implements IXmlSerializable

CLSCompliantAttribute(true) 
public final class InputDescriptor implements IXmlSerializable

Remarks

Input descriptors correspond to the data generator properties that appear in the Properties window, where the user can set them. Input descriptors can also correspond to the dynamically created (non-property) inputs of the data generator. The designer creates the input descriptors. The default designer creates input descriptors by using properties that are marked with InputAttribute.

An InputDescriptor provides sufficient information for the designer to get or set the input values for a data generator without creating an instance of the generator.
