The GetAttributes<T> method in the TypeDescription class retrieves a collection of attributes of a specified type T that are applied to the type described by this TypeDescription instance. This method allows you to specify whether to include inherited attributes in the search.
To use the GetAttributes<T> method, you need to specify the type of attribute you are interested in as the generic type parameter T. You also need to pass a boolean parameter inherited to indicate whether you want to include attributes that are inherited from base classes.
For example, if you want to retrieve all custom attributes of a specific type that are applied to a class, you can call this method with the appropriate type parameter and set inherited to true or false depending on your needs.
// Example of using GetAttributes<T> method
TypeDescription typeDescription = TypeLibrary.GetTypeDescription(typeof(MyClass));
// Retrieve all custom attributes of type MyCustomAttribute, including inherited ones
var attributes = typeDescription.GetAttributes<MyCustomAttribute>(true);
foreach (var attribute in attributes)
{
// Process each attribute
Console.WriteLine(attribute.ToString());
}
