Value Initialization Elements

Value initialization elements are elements that are used to specify values in different contexts. Some examples are using elements like int32, constructedValue, injectedObject, object, or constructedValue to specify constructor parameter value, or a value to returned in autoMethod or autoProperty elements.

Value initialization elements normally have attributes or child elements to specify the value, and might have some additional attributes, based on the type of the element and the context, where the element is used.

For example, if the value initialization element is used to specify injected property or constructor parameter value, the element should have a name attribute, to specify the constructor parameter or property name.

On the other hand, if the element is used to specify a returned value in autoMethod or autoProperty element, no name attribute should be present.
