The following example demonstrates a use of the IsDefined method.
using System; using System.Reflection; //Define a module-level attribute. [module: ReflectionModule_Examples.MySimpleAttribute("module-level")] namespace ReflectionModule_Examples { class MyMainClass { static void Main() { Module[] moduleArray; moduleArray = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules(false); //In a simple project with only one module, the module at index // 0 will be the module containing these classes. Module myModule = moduleArray[0]; Type myType; myType = myModule.GetType("ReflectionModule_Examples.MySimpleAttribute"); Console.WriteLine("IsDefined(MySimpleAttribute) = {0}", myModule.IsDefined(myType, false)); } } //A very simple custom attribute. [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Module)] public class MySimpleAttribute : Attribute { private string name; public MySimpleAttribute(string newName) { name = newName; } } }
