Attribute.GetCustomAttributes Method (ParameterInfo)
.NET Framework 3.0
Retrieves an array of the custom attributes applied to a method parameter. A parameter specifies the method parameter.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public static Attribute[] GetCustomAttributes ( ParameterInfo element )
public static function GetCustomAttributes ( element : ParameterInfo ) : Attribute[]
Not applicable.
Parameters
- element
An object derived from the ParameterInfo class that describes a parameter of a member of a class.
Return Value
An Attribute array that contains the custom attributes applied to element, or an empty array if no such custom attributes exist.The following code example demonstrates the use of GetCustomAttributes, taking a ParameterInfo as a parameter.
using System; using System.Reflection; using System.ComponentModel; namespace CustAttrs5CS { public class AClass { public void ParamArrayAndDesc( // Add ParamArray (with the keyword) and Description attributes. [Description("This argument is a ParamArray")] params int[] args) {} } class DemoClass { static void Main(string[] args) { // Get the Class type to access its metadata. Type clsType = typeof(AClass); // Get the type information for the method. MethodInfo mInfo = clsType.GetMethod("ParamArrayAndDesc"); if (mInfo != null) { // Get the parameter information. ParameterInfo[] pInfo = mInfo.GetParameters(); if (pInfo != null) { // Iterate through all the attributes for the parameter. foreach(Attribute attr in Attribute.GetCustomAttributes(pInfo[0])) { // Check for the ParamArray attribute. if (attr.GetType() == typeof(ParamArrayAttribute)) Console.WriteLine("Parameter {0} for method {1} " + "has the ParamArray attribute.", pInfo[0].Name, mInfo.Name); // Check for the Description attribute. else if (attr.GetType() == typeof(DescriptionAttribute)) { Console.WriteLine("Parameter {0} for method {1} " + "has a description attribute.", pInfo[0].Name, mInfo.Name); Console.WriteLine("The description is: \"{0}\"", ((DescriptionAttribute)attr).Description); } } } } } } } /* * Output: * Parameter args for method ParamArrayAndDesc has a description attribute. * The description is: "This argument is a ParamArray" * Parameter args for method ParamArrayAndDesc has the ParamArray attribute. */
