Syntax

C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(System.AttributeTargets, AllowMultiple=false)] 
public class ElementAttribute : Attribute

<AttributeUsageAttribute(ValidOn=AttributeTargets.Class Or  _ 
    AttributeTargets.Property Or  _ 
    AttributeTargets.Field,  
   AllowMultiple=False,  
   Inherited=True)> 
Public Class ElementAttribute  
   Inherits System.Attribute 
   Implements System.Runtime.InteropServices._Attribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(ValidOn=AttributeTargets.Class |  
    AttributeTargets.Property |  
    AttributeTargets.Field,  
   AllowMultiple=false,  
   Inherited=true)] 
public ref class ElementAttribute : public System.Attribute, System.Runtime.InteropServices._Attribute
