Remarks

The Category property of this class returns the category string resource that is localized to the current culture. If a localized string is not available, then the Category property returns the value of the DisplayNameKey property.

When you design a domain-specific language (DSL), the generated code applies this attribute to every property that corresponds to a domain property in the DSL definition.

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.
