Methods

CallMethod When implemented in a derived class, calls the method that defined the property.
ConvertToArgumentType Converts the specified string to the ElementType.
ConvertToArgumentTypeInvariant Converts any type to the argument's ElementType.
DetermineValueDescriptionForType Determines the value description if one wasn't explicitly given.
EqualsDetermines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object)
FinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCodeServes as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object)
GetProperty When implemented in a derived class, gets the value of the property for this argument.
GetTypeGets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object)
