## Detailed Description

Classes which need runtime information about themselves and their relationship to other classes can virtually inherit from DescribedClass.

This will provide the class with the ability to query its name and its version. Furthermore, the class's static ClassDesc can be obtained which permits several other operations. See The Described Class Library for more information.
