EnumBuilder.GetCustomAttributes Method (Type, Boolean)
.NET Framework 4
Returns the custom attributes identified by the given type.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- attributeType
- Type: System.Type
The Type object to which the custom attributes are applied.
- inherit
- Type: System.Boolean
Specifies whether to search this member's inheritance chain to find the attributes.
Return Value
Type: System.Object[]Returns an array of objects representing the attributes of this constructor that are of Type attributeType.

ICustomAttributeProvider.GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean)_MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean)

| NotSupportedException | This method is not currently supported in types that are not complete. |
As a workaround, to retrieve the custom attributes of a finished type, retrieve the type using Type.GetType and call MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes on the returned Type.
The following code sample illustrates the use of GetCustomAttribute in the context of EnumBuilder.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All, AllowMultiple = false)] public class MyAttribute : Attribute { public String myString; public int myInteger; public MyAttribute(String myString1, int myInteger1) { this.myString = myString1; this.myInteger = myInteger1; } } class MyApplication { static AssemblyBuilder myAssemblyBuilder; static EnumBuilder myEnumBuilder; public static void Main() { try { CreateCallee(Thread.GetDomain()); if(myEnumBuilder.IsDefined(typeof(MyAttribute),false)) { object[] myAttributesArray = myEnumBuilder.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyAttribute),false); Console.WriteLine("Custom attribute contains: "); // Read the attributes and display them on the console. for(int index=0; index < myAttributesArray.Length; index++) { if(myAttributesArray[index] is MyAttribute) { Console.WriteLine("The value of myString is: " + ((MyAttribute)myAttributesArray[index]).myString); Console.WriteLine("The value of myInteger is: " + ((MyAttribute)myAttributesArray[index]).myInteger); } } } else { Console.WriteLine("Custom Attributes are not set for the EnumBuilder"); } } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("The following exception is raised:" +e.Message); } } private static void CreateCallee(AppDomain domain) { // Create a name for the assembly. AssemblyName myAssemblyName = new AssemblyName(); myAssemblyName.Name = "EmittedAssembly"; // Create the dynamic assembly. myAssemblyBuilder = domain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run); Type myType = typeof(MyAttribute); ConstructorInfo myInfo = myType.GetConstructor(new Type[2]{typeof(String), typeof(int)}); CustomAttributeBuilder myCustomAttributeBuilder = new CustomAttributeBuilder(myInfo, new object[2]{"Hello", 2}); // Create a dynamic module. ModuleBuilder myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule("EmittedModule"); // Create a dynamic Enum. myEnumBuilder = myModuleBuilder.DefineEnum("MyNamespace.MyEnum", TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(Int32)); FieldBuilder myFieldBuilder1 = myEnumBuilder.DefineLiteral("FieldOne", 1); FieldBuilder myFieldBuilder2 = myEnumBuilder.DefineLiteral("FieldTwo", 2); myEnumBuilder.CreateType(); myEnumBuilder.SetCustomAttribute(myCustomAttributeBuilder); } }
