EnumBuilder::GetCustomAttributes Method (Boolean)

 

Returns all the custom attributes defined for this constructor.

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

public:
virtual array<Object^>^ GetCustomAttributes(
	bool inherit
) override

Parameters

inherit
Type: System::Boolean

Specifies whether to search this member's inheritance chain to find the attributes.

Return Value

Type: array<System::Object^>^

Returns an array of objects representing all the custom attributes of the constructor represented by this ConstructorBuilder instance.

Exception Condition
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 GetCustomAttributes on the returned Type.

The following code sample illustrates the use of GetCustomAttribute in the context of EnumBuilder.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets::All,AllowMultiple=false)]
public ref class MyAttribute: public Attribute
{
public:
   bool myBoolValue;
   MyAttribute( bool myBool )
   {
      this->myBoolValue = myBool;
   }
};

ref class MyApplication
{
private:
   static EnumBuilder^ myEnumBuilder;

public:
   static void Main()
   {
      try
      {
         CreateCallee( Thread::GetDomain() );
         array<Object^>^myAttributesArray = myEnumBuilder->GetCustomAttributes( true );

         // Read the attributes and display them on the console.
         Console::WriteLine( "Custom attribute contains: " );
         for ( int index = 0; index < myAttributesArray->Length; index++ )
         {
            if ( dynamic_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributesArray[ index ]) )
            {
               Console::WriteLine( "myBoolValue: {0}", (dynamic_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributesArray[ index ]))->myBoolValue );
            }
         }
      }
      catch ( Exception^ e ) 
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "The following exception is raised:{0}", e->Message );
      }

   }

private:
   static void CreateCallee( AppDomain^ domain )
   {
      AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;

      // Create a name for the assembly.
      myAssemblyName->Name = "EmittedAssembly";

      // Create the dynamic assembly.
      AssemblyBuilder^ myAssemblyBuilder = domain->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::Run );
      Type^ myType = MyAttribute::typeid;
      array<Type^>^temp0 = {bool::typeid};
      ConstructorInfo^ myInfo = myType->GetConstructor( temp0 );

      // Create a dynamic module.
      ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "EmittedModule" );

      // Create a dynamic Enum.
      myEnumBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineEnum( "MyNamespace.MyEnum", TypeAttributes::Public, Int32::typeid );
      FieldBuilder^ myFieldBuilder1 = myEnumBuilder->DefineLiteral( "FieldOne", 1 );
      FieldBuilder^ myFieldBuilder2 = myEnumBuilder->DefineLiteral( "FieldTwo", 2 );
      myEnumBuilder->CreateType();
      array<Byte>^temp1 = {01,00,01};
      myEnumBuilder->SetCustomAttribute( myInfo, temp1 );
   }
};
