BaseUsageValidationAttribute()

Properties

Name	Description
CurrentAssembly	Gets a value indicating whether the rule is matched by the assembly in which the attribute is defined.
CurrentNamespace	Gets a value indicating whether the rule is matched by the namespace of the type to which the attribute is defined.
Description	Gets an optional description message appended to the warning message.
ExclusionPredicateType	Gets a Type, derived from ReferencePredicate, that determines exclusions for the current architecture rule. Specifically, no warning will be reported if the IsMatch(ReferenceValidationContext) method of the ReferencePredicate returns `true`. This type must have a default constructor.
NamespaceOfTypes	Gets the namespaces that match the rule by specifying a set of types directly contained in the namespaces.
Namespaces	Gets the namespaces that match the rule by identifying the namespaces by their full name. Any namespace string can contain one of the following patterns: `` (matches any identifier character, but not the dot), `..` (matches any sub-namespace in the middle of a namespace), `.` (matches any sub-namespace at the beginning of a namespace) or `.*` (matches any sub-namespace at the end of a namespace -- this pattern is allowed but redundant).
ReferenceKinds	Gets the kinds of references that must be validated. The default value is All.
TypeNames	Gets the full names of the types that match the rule. Any type string can contain one of the following patterns: `` (matches any identifier character, but not the dot), `..` (matches any sub-namespace in the middle of a full type name), `.` (matches any sub-namespace at the beginning of the full type name) or `.*` (matches any sub-namespace and any type name at the end of a namespace).
Types	Gets the types that match the rule.
ValidateDerivedTypes	Gets a value indicating whether the types that are derived from the target type should also be validated, e.g. whether the aspect is inheritable.

Methods

Name	Description
AddPredicatesFromAttributes(ReferencePredicateBuilder, INamespace, Action<ReferencePredicate>, in ScopedDiagnosticSink)	Adds the predicates defined by the properties of the current custom attribute.
TryCreateExclusionPredicate(IAspectBuilder<IMemberOrNamedType>, ReferencePredicateBuilder, out ReferencePredicate?)
TryCreatePredicate(IAspectBuilder<IMemberOrNamedType>, ReferencePredicateBuilder, out ReferencePredicate?)	Creates a ReferencePredicate based on the properties of the custom attributes.
