The GetAttribute<T> method retrieves a specific attribute of type T from a given System.Type. This method is useful for accessing metadata attributes applied to types within the Sandbox environment.
To use the GetAttribute<T> method, you need to specify the type of attribute you are looking for as the generic type parameter T. You also need to provide the System.Type from which you want to retrieve the attribute.
If the specified attribute is found, it is returned; otherwise, the method returns null.

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class MyCustomAttribute : Attribute
{
public string Description { get; set; }
public MyCustomAttribute(string description)
{
Description = description;
}
}
// Apply the custom attribute to a class
[MyCustomAttribute("This is a sample class.")]
public class SampleClass
{
}
// Retrieve the custom attribute from the SampleClass type
Type type = typeof(SampleClass);
MyCustomAttribute attribute = TypeLibrary.GetAttribute<MyCustomAttribute>(type);
if (attribute != null)
{
// Output the description from the attribute
Console.WriteLine(attribute.Description);
