<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Property, 

   AllowMultiple=False, 

   Inherited=True)>

'Usage
 
Dim instance As NewItemTypesAttribute

   AllowMultiple=false, 

   Inherited=true)]

public class NewItemTypesAttribute : System.Attribute

Remarks

This class allows you to specify the type of object that can be added to a collection property. When a CollectionEditorDialog is used to edit the property, these types are used to populate the new type combobox.

Example

The following snippet causes the new item ComboBox to contain the "Woman" and "Man" types that can be instantiated.

public class Person {...}

public class Man : Person {...}

public class Woman : Person {...}





public class Community

 {

   [NewItemTypes(typeof(Man), typeof(Woman))]

   public IList<Person> Members { get; set; }

 }
