Windows.Foundation.Metadata Namespace

Defines the attributes that indicate fundamental properties of Windows Runtime types and members.

Classes

ActivatableAttribute

Indicates that the class is an activatable runtime class.

AllowForWebAttribute

Enables developers to expose a native Windows Runtime object as a global parameter in the context of the top-level document inside of a WebView. For a Windows Runtime object to be projected, it must implement IAgileObject and be decorated with the AllowForWebAttribute attribute.

AllowMultipleAttribute

Indicates that multiple instances of a custom attribute can be applied to a target.

ApiContractAttribute

Specifies that the type represents an API contract.

ApiInformation

Enables you to detect whether a specified member, type, or API contract is present so that you can safely make API calls across a variety of devices.

AttributeNameAttribute

Indicates the name of the attribute

AttributeUsageAttribute

Specifies the use of another attribute.

.NET This type appears as System.AttributeUsageAttribute.

ComposableAttribute

Indicates how a programming element is composed.

ContractVersionAttribute

Indicates the version of the API contract.

CreateFromStringAttribute

Creates a metadata object from a string.

DefaultAttribute

Indicates the default interface for a runtime class.

DefaultOverloadAttribute

Indicates that a method is the default overload method. This attribute must be used with OverloadAttribute.

DeprecatedAttribute

Indicates that a type or member should be marked in metadata as deprecated. Compilers and other developer tools can read this attribute and provide info to the user about the deprecation type and possible alternates.

DualApiPartitionAttribute

Indicates that the type is supported in desktop apps and in UWP apps.

ExclusiveToAttribute

Indicates that the specified type is exclusive to this type.

ExperimentalAttribute

Indicates that a type or member should be marked in metadata as experimental, and consequently may not be present in the final, released version of an SDK or library.

FastAbiAttribute

Indicates if the type supports fast ABI.

FeatureAttribute

Expresses the state of the Windows Runtime feature associated with a Windows Runtime Type.

GCPressureAttribute

Microsoft internal use only.

GuidAttribute

Indicates the GUID for the interface or delegate.

HasVariantAttribute

Indicates that the type is an instance of a variant IInspectable. Applies to runtime classes, interfaces, and parameterized interfaces.

InternalAttribute

Indicates that a type or member should be marked in metadata as internal to the SDK or framework, and for consumption by system components only.

LengthIsAttribute

Indicates the number of array elements.

MarshalingBehaviorAttribute

Indicates the marshaling behavior of a Windows Runtime component.

MetadataMarshalAttribute

Indicates that tools should create an entry for an interface when creating an application package.

MuseAttribute

Indicates that a runtime class is compatible with UWP apps that are web browsers.

NoExceptionAttribute

Indicates if the type raises exceptions.

OverloadAttribute

Identifies the method as an overload in a language that supports overloading.

OverridableAttribute

Indicates that the interface contains overridable methods.

PlatformAttribute

Declares the platform that a type should be supported in, when platform-specific metadata is produced.

PreviousContractVersionAttribute

Indicates that the type was previously associated with a different API contract.

ProtectedAttribute

Indicates that the interface contains protected methods.

RangeAttribute

Indicates the numeric range constraints for the value of a data field.

RemoteAsyncAttribute

Indicates that an interface can be delivered using an asynchronous form of the Async pattern.

StaticAttribute

Indicates an interface that contains only static methods.

ThreadingAttribute

Indicates the threading model of a Windows Runtime class.

VariantAttribute

Indicates that the item is an instance of a variant IInspectable. Applies to method parameters, properties, and return values of types.

VersionAttribute

Indicates the version of the type.

WebHostHiddenAttribute

Identifies the type as one whose functionality is not projected into the specified target language.

Enums

AttributeTargets

Specifies the programming construct to which an attribute applies.

.NET This type appears as System.AttributeTargets.

CompositionType

Specifies the visibility of a programming element for which the composable attribute is applied.

DeprecationType

Indicates a deprecation as Deprecate or Remove.

FeatureStage

Values that indicate if a Windows feature is enabled or disabled.

GCPressureAmount

Microsoft internal use only.

MarshalingType

Specifies the marshaling type for the class.

Platform

Specifies the platforms that a specified type should be supported in, as used by Windows Runtime attributes and metadata.

ThreadingModel

Specifies the threading model.
