Console::WriteLine( "The Names of the Attributes : {0}", myClass1Type->Attributes );
MyClass1 myClass1 = new MyClass1();
 // Get the type referenced by the specified type handle.
Type myClass1Type = Type.GetTypeFromHandle(Type.GetTypeHandle(myClass1));
Console.WriteLine("The Names of the Attributes :"+myClass1Type.Attributes);
let myClass1 = MyClass1()
// Get the type referenced by the specified type handle.
let myClass1Type = Type.GetTypeFromHandle(Type.GetTypeHandle myClass1)
printfn $"The Names of the Attributes: {myClass1Type.Attributes}"
   Dim myClass1 As New MyClass1()
   ' Get the type referenced by the specified type handle.
   Dim myClass1Type As Type = Type.GetTypeFromHandle(Type.GetTypeHandle(MyClass1))
