Remarks

This attribute is used when building objects through ObjectBuilder. The ConfiguredObjectStrategy will query the requested type for this attribute, and will use an instance of the specified factory type to build the requested instance. The specified type must implement the ICustomFactory interface. The attribute needs to be bound only to the types that will be requested to ObjectBuilder; it is not necessary to bind the attribute to subclasses or implementations of interfaces.
