      myCollection = TypeDescriptor::GetAttributes( button1 );

      // Checks to see whether the attributes in myCollection match the attributes for textBox1.
      array<Attribute^>^ myAttrArray = gcnew array<Attribute^>(100);
      TypeDescriptor::GetAttributes( textBox1 )->CopyTo( myAttrArray, 0 );
      if ( myCollection->Matches( myAttrArray ) )
      {
         textBox1->Text = "The attributes in the button and text box match.";
