System.Reflection.MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes Method

When overridden in a derived class, returns an array of all custom attributes applied to this member.

Syntax

public abstract object[] GetCustomAttributes (bool inherit)

Parameters

inherit
true to search this member's inheritance chain to find the attributes; otherwise, false. This parameter is ignored for properties and events; see Remarks.

Returns

An array that contains all the custom attributes applied to this member, or an array with zero elements if no attributes are defined.

Remarks

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(Assembly) method.

Note:

   In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this method returns security attributes on methods, constructors, and types if they 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.
