Syntax

'Declaration
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class ContentTypeAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute
'Usage
Dim instance As ContentTypeAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class ContentTypeAttribute : Attribute

Remarks

The content type being represented need not be a defined content type on the SharePoint Foundation Web site. When a site owner adds a column to an existing list, he creates a new implicit content type. That kind of implicit content type is also represented by classes decorated with a ContentTypeAttribute.

Examples

The following is an example of a ContentTypeAttribute used to map a TeamMembersItem class to the content type of a Team Members list.

[ContentType(Name="Item", Id="0x01", List="Team Members")]
[DataContract()]
public partial class TeamMembersItem : Item {

    // Member declarations omitted.
}

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
