Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| .gif) | AssemblyName | Gets or sets the name of the target assembly. | 
| .gif) | CodeBase | Gets or sets a relative path from $PackageFolder$, or an absolute path rooted from an environment variable substitution (of format %variable%). | 
| .gif) | Culture | Gets or sets a string that specifies the language and country/region of the assembly. | 
| .gif) | CurrentAssembly | Gets or sets the assembly to which the generated dependentAssembly registry entry refers. | 
| .gif) | Guid | Gets the identifier of this attribute instance. | 
| .gif) | PublicKeyToken | Gets or sets a 16-character hexadecimal number which is the token part of the strong name of the assembly being redirected. | 
| .gif) | TypeId | Gets the current instance of this attribute. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.) |

Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| .gif) | Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | 
| .gif) | FormatPublicKeyToken | Formats a binary public key token into a hexadecimal string. | 
| .gif) | GetGuidHashString | Gets the string that will be hashed into the identifier of the attribute. | 
| .gif) | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) | GetPackageRegKeyPath | Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.) | 
| .gif) | GetPathToKey | Gets the path to the key were the values for this attribute will be registered. | 
| .gif) | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | 
| .gif) | IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) | Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | 
| .gif) | Register | Registers this attribute with the given context. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).) | 
| .gif) | SetValues | Set values handled by this attribute in the given key. | 
| .gif) | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | 
| .gif) | TryParseVersion | Tries to parse a string into a version. | 
| .gif) | Unregister | Unregisters this attribute. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).) | 
| .gif) | UpdateAssemblyInformation | Updates all information not provided from the assembly to which this attribute is applied. | 
| .gif) | ValidateAttributeInformation | Validates that all the required information has been supplied. |

Fields
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| .gif) | _guidUpdateNeeded | Infrastructure. Indicates whether a GUID update is required. If true, a GUID update is required. If false (default), no update is required. |

Explicit Interface Implementations
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| .gif) .gif) | System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) .gif) | System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) .gif) | System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) | 
| .gif) .gif) | System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
