| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| TypeLoadException | A custom attribute type cannot be loaded. |
| ArgumentNullException | If attributeType is nullptr. |
| InvalidOperationException | This member belongs to a type that is loaded into the reflection-only context. See How to: Load Assemblies into the Reflection-Only Context. |
This method ignores the inherit parameter for properties and events. To search the inheritance chain for attributes on properties and events, use the appropriate overloads of the Attribute::GetCustomAttributes method.

In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this method returns security attributes on methods, constructors, and types if the attributes are stored in the new metadata format. Assemblies compiled with version 2.0 use this format. Dynamic assemblies and assemblies compiled with earlier versions of the .NET Framework use the old XML format. See Emitting Declarative Security Attributes. |
