Thread: Metadata attributes in .NET

Just derive a class from “System.Attribute” and mark it with the “AttributeUsage” attribute. The script that I have mentioned will definitely help you.

For example:

Code:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class InspiredByAttribute : System.Attribute
{
public string InspiredBy; 
public Inspired By Attribute( string inspiredBy ) 
{
 InspiredBy = inspiredBy;
 }
 }
[InspiredBy(".NET FAQ")] class CTest{}

 class Capp
 {
      public static void Main()
      {
        object[] atts = typeof(CTest).GetCustomAttributes(true);
        foreach( object att in atts )
        if( att is InspiredByAttribute )
Console.WriteLine( "Class CTest was inspired by {0}", ((InspiredByAttribute)att).InspiredBy);
}
}
