Remarks
Each TypeDescription object contains a collection of attributes and a collection of anchor attributes that are associated to the data source management agent (MA) extension. Attributes and anchor attributes are represented as a AttributeDescriptionCollection of attribute objects. Each attribute object in the collection is represented as an AttributeDescription object. To get the attributes on an object—for example, through the WriteLine method—you must declare the TypeDescriptionCollection to have access to the AttributeDescription objects. The following code example demonstrates how to do this.
