This is the abstract base for classes that represent the member of
class, such as properties and events (e.g.,
PropertyDescriptor and
EventDescriptor). You can get the
Name and DisplayName of the
member.
In addition, you can get the collection of
Attributes adorning the member. It also provides a
set of utility accessors that indicate the values of particular
attribute types: the Category,
Description, DesignTimeOnly,
and IsBrowsable members.
