Represents the fixed description (immutable metadata) of a class. A ClassDescription object maintains a fixed snapshot, via its properties and property descriptions, of an instantiated object's property metadata throughout the object's lifetime. Because all of its properties are read-only, you cannot directly modify a ClassDescription object. If you need to update the metadata of a class, use its ClassDefinition object.
