Remarks

Various classes in CPI implement ICustomTypeDescriptor to enable programmatically retrieving property information, including ComponentSetting, SettingDefinition, SettingOverride, Package, and PackageAction. Each instance of these classes exposes a collection of PropertyDescriptor, with each item in the collection describing a single property.

Some of the properties are read-only from an answer file authoring perspective (such as the name and type of a setting), while others represent single overrideable answer file entries (such as the override value of a simple type setting, or the source location of a package).

If an instance of PropertyDescriptor implements IScalarSettingPropertyDescriptor, it indicates that this instance represents a property that can be mapped to a single overrideable value in an answer file. This interface defines properties to configure how these values should be written to the answer file.
