[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly|AttributeTargets.Class|AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple = true)]
public sealed class DebuggerVisualizerAttribute : Attribute

Visual C++

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Assembly|AttributeTargets::Class|AttributeTargets::Struct, AllowMultiple = true)]
public ref class DebuggerVisualizerAttribute sealed : public Attribute

/** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) */

public final class DebuggerVisualizerAttribute extends Attribute

JScript

Remarks

This attribute can be used at the assembly level. Typically the attribute constructors take two types. The two types are a visualizer and a visualizer object source, specified as types or as fully qualified assembly type names. The second option is provided so that the visualizer assembly does not need to be referenced by the assembly containing the DebuggerVisualizerAttribute. This allows a component creator to ship the visualizer in a DLL to be called only at debug time. The Description property specifies the visualizer description that appears in the drop-down box. The target parameters specify the type that is the target of the visualizer. For more information about visualizers, see Visualizers.

Note:
Visualizer and visualizer object source implementation is dependent upon the hosting debugger. For information on creating a visualizer for Visual Studio 2005, see How to: Write a Visualizer.
