Compile-time and Design-time Attributes
Tom Barnaby, Jason Bock · Apress eBooks · 2003
As noted in Chapter 1, attributes must be recognized and acted upon by a consuming application. In many cases, this consuming application will be the.NET runtime. Chapter 3 covers many of the attributes that affect runtime behavior. In this chapter, we will focus on those attributes that affect the behavior of the compiler and other tools such as tlbimp, regasm, regsvcs, and even Visual Studio .NET.
