ImmutableAttribute Class

This attribute can be used to declare a type as immutable.

Syntax

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | 
    AttributeTargets.Struct)]
public sealed class ImmutableAttribute : System.Attribute

Remarks

A class or structure is immutable if its instance object's state, cannot be modified after it is created. This is in contrast to a mutable object, which can be modified after it is created.
The property IType.NDepend.CodeModel.IType.IsImmutable can be used to determine whether a type is immutable or not.
A code rule is provided by default to continuously make sure that all types tagged with this attribute are indeed immutable.
