An array of type Attribute to find in the collection.

   void ContainsAttributes()
   {
      // Creates a new collection and assigns it the attributes for button1.
      AttributeCollection^ myCollection;
      myCollection = TypeDescriptor::GetAttributes( button1 );

      // Checks to see whether the attributes in myCollection are the attributes for textBox1.
      array<Attribute^>^ myAttrArray = gcnew array<Attribute^>(100);
      TypeDescriptor::GetAttributes( textBox1 )->CopyTo( myAttrArray, 0 );
      if ( myCollection->Contains( myAttrArray ) )
      {
         textBox1->Text = "Both the button and text box have the same attributes.";
      }
      else
      {
         textBox1->Text = "The button and the text box do not have the same attributes.";
