The GetAttribute<T> method in the TypeDescription class is used to retrieve a specific attribute of type T from the described type. This method allows you to specify whether to include inherited attributes in the search.
The GetAttribute<T> method in the TypeDescription class is used to retrieve a specific attribute of type T from the described type. This method allows you to specify whether to include inherited attributes in the search.
To use the GetAttribute<T> method, you need to specify the type of attribute you are looking for as the generic type parameter T. The method also takes a boolean parameter inherited which determines whether to include attributes inherited from base classes.
If the attribute of type T is found, it is returned; otherwise, the method returns null.
// Example of using GetAttribute<T> method
// Assume MyCustomAttribute is a custom attribute defined elsewhere
var typeDescription = new TypeDescription(typeof(MyClass));
// Retrieve the custom attribute from MyClass, including inherited attributes
var attribute = typeDescription.GetAttribute<MyCustomAttribute>(true);
if (attribute != null)
{
// Attribute found, proceed with logic
Console.WriteLine("Attribute found: " + attribute.ToString());
}
else
{
// Attribute not found
Console.WriteLine("Attribute not found.");
}
