public ref class ModuleInitializerAttribute sealed : Attribute

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class ModuleInitializerAttribute : Attribute

[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited=false)>]

Remarks

When one or more valid methods with this attribute are found in a compilation, the compiler will emit a module initializer that calls each of the attributed methods.

Certain requirements are imposed on any method targeted with this attribute:

• The method must be static.
• The method must be an ordinary member method, as opposed to a property accessor, constructor, local function, and so on.
• The method must be parameterless.
• The method must return void.
• The method must not be generic or be contained in a generic type.
• The method's effective accessibility must be internal or public.

For more information, see the specification for module initializers.

Constructors

Initializes a new instance of the ModuleInitializerAttribute class.

Properties

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
