Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<AttributeUsageAttribute(ValidOn=AttributeTargets.Class Or  _
    AttributeTargets.Struct Or  _
    AttributeTargets.Enum, 
   AllowMultiple=False, 
   Inherited=True)>
Public NotInheritable Class DiscoverableTypeAttribute 
   Inherits System.Attribute
   Implements System.Runtime.InteropServices._Attribute

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DiscoverableTypeAttribute

[AttributeUsage(ValidOn=AttributeTargets.Class | 
    AttributeTargets.Struct | 
    AttributeTargets.Enum, 
   AllowMultiple=false, 
   Inherited=true)]
public sealed class DiscoverableTypeAttribute : System.Attribute, System.Runtime.InteropServices._Attribute

Remarks

The DiscoverableType attribute is used in several situations to identify types to be discovered. When using the DiscoverableTypeMode.KnownType the attribute can be used in place of the IKnownType interface to mark a type as a "known type" for serialization purposes. (See the DataContractSerializer for information on known types.)
