Type.Attributes Property (System)

.NET Framework Class Library

Type..::.Attributes Property

Gets the attributes associated with the Type.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Public ReadOnly Property Attributes As TypeAttributes

public TypeAttributes Attributes { get; }

public:
virtual property TypeAttributes Attributes {
	TypeAttributes get () sealed;
}

abstract Attributes : TypeAttributes
override Attributes : TypeAttributes

Property Value

Type: System.Reflection..::.TypeAttributes
A TypeAttributes object representing the attribute set of the Type, unless the Type represents a generic type parameter, in which case the value is unspecified.

Implements

_Type..::.Attributes

Remarks

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property returns the attributes of the generic type definition. For example, the attributes returned for MyGenericClass<int> (MyGenericClass(Of Integer) in Visual Basic) are the attributes of MyGenericClass<T> (MyGenericClass(Of T) in Visual Basic).

If the current Type represents a generic type parameter — that is, if the IsGenericParameter property returns true — the TypeAttributes value returned by this property is unspecified.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the Type.Attributes property.


Imports System
Imports System.Reflection

Public Class Class1
    Protected t As Type
    Public Sub Method1()
        If (t.Attributes And TypeAttributes.ClassSemanticsMask) = TypeAttributes.Interface Then
            Console.WriteLine("t is an interface.")
        End If
        If (t.Attributes And TypeAttributes.Public) <> 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine("t is public.")
        End If
    End Sub 'Method1
End Class 'Class1


using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class Class1 
{
    protected Type t;
    public void Method1() 
    {
        if ((t.Attributes & TypeAttributes.ClassSemanticsMask) == TypeAttributes.Interface)
            Console.WriteLine ("t is an interface.");
        if ((t.Attributes & TypeAttributes.Public) != 0)
            Console.WriteLine ("t is public.");
    }
}


#using <System.DLL>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
ref class Sample
{
private:
   void Method( Type^ t )
   {
      if ( (t->Attributes & TypeAttributes::ClassSemanticsMask) == TypeAttributes::Interface )
            Console::WriteLine(  "t is an interface." );

      if ( (t->Attributes & TypeAttributes::Public) != (TypeAttributes)0 )
            Console::WriteLine(  "t is public." );
   }

};
