public sealed class BillingAccountName : IResourceName, IEquatable<BillingAccountName>
Resource name for the 'billing account' resource which is widespread across Google Cloud.
While most resource names are generated on a per-API basis, many APIs use a billing account resource, and it's
useful to be able to pass values from one API to another.
If true will successfully store an unparseable resource name into the UnparsedResource
property; otherwise will throw an ArgumentException if an unparseable resource name is
specified.
If true will successfully store an unparseable resource name into the UnparsedResource
property; otherwise will throw an ArgumentException if an unparseable resource name is
specified.
