Remarks

This method informs the base class that the property exists, but does not supply it with a value. The base class notes that no value has been provided and on first request calls the RetrieveValue method to obtain the value. Subsequent calls return a cached copy of the value, so RetrieveValue is not called again for this property.

This method should be called by derived classes, normally in their constructor, to indicate that a particular property is supported. Without calling this the Contains method returns false for this property name (unless it was already specified in one of the constructors).

.NET Framework Security

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
