The HostTypeAttribute type exposes the following members.
Constructors
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
HostTypeAttribute(String) | Initializes a new instance of the HostTypeAttribute class. This is instantiated by using an argument that specifies the type of host on which this unit test will run. | |
HostTypeAttribute(String, String) | Initializes a new instance of the HostTypeAttribute class. This is instantiated by using an argument that specifies the type of host on which this unit test will run, and custom data for the host adapter. |

Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
HostData | Gets custom data for the host adapter. | |
HostType | Gets a value that represents the type of host. | |
TypeId | When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.) |

Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Explicit Interface Implementations
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
System#Runtime#InteropServices#_Attribute#Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |

Remarks
The type of host identifies the test run on the host, outside the current environment. When a test is run in a different environment, it might also run in a different process. The following example shows that the test is being run in the ASP.NET Development Server address space. This is designated by the AspNetDevelopmentServerHostAttribute. Visual Studio 2005 includes one host adapter called ASP.NET. This is used for ASP.NET unit tests. Customers can create their own host adapters through Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program.
Note
The Visual Studio software development kit (SDK) contains a sample application named "VSIdeHostAdapter." As an example host adapter, it demonstrates how to create a host adapter that runs tests inside a Visual Studio process.
The HostTypeAttribute can be specified on a test method. Only a single instance of this attribute can occur on a method.

Examples
[TestMethod()]
[HostType("ASP.NET")]
[UrlToTest("https://localhost:1371/webSite12")]
[AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("d:\\MyWebSite", "/MyWebSiteRoot")]
public void ConstructorTest()
{
object target = TestProject1.Class1Accessor.CreatePrivate();
Assert.Inconclusive("TODO: Implement code to verify target");
}
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.
