     public CLSCompliantAttribute (bool isCompliant);

  // Properties
     public bool IsCompliant { get; }
}

BA Unfortunately, we codified the naming convention for acronyms too late to fix this one. It should have been ClsCompliantAttribute rather than CLSCompliantAttribute. Notice that this attribute is just a marker intended for compilers to enforce. The runtime does enforce any CLS-compliance rules. JR Note that the CLS only applies to publicly exposed members so compilers generally only check CLS-compliance of types and members that are exposed outside of an assembly. Internal types and private methods, for example, are not checked for CLS compliance.
