Remarks

This attribute is provided for use by source code debuggers; the common language runtime is not affected by it. For example, the Visual Studio debugger does not stop in a method that is marked with this attribute even if a breakpoint is set in the method.

This attribute avoids having to step into compiler-provided code and only steps into developer-provided code. For example, if you are stepping through code by using the F11 (Step Into) key, the attribute will cause the step to behave like an F10 (Step Over) key for compiler-provided code. The method won’t be stepped into, but it will be executed.

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.
