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