ICustomAttributeProvider.GetCustomAttributes Method (Type, Boolean)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns an array of custom attributes defined on this member, identified by type, or an empty array if there are no custom attributes of that type.

Namespace:  System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function GetCustomAttributes ( _
    attributeType As Type, _
    inherit As Boolean _
) As Object()
Object[] GetCustomAttributes(
    Type attributeType,
    bool inherit
)

Parameters

  • attributeType
    Type: System.Type
    The type of the custom attributes.
  • inherit
    Type: System.Boolean
    When true, look up the hierarchy chain for the inherited custom attribute.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Object[]
An array of Objects representing custom attributes, or an empty array.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
TypeLoadException

The custom attribute type cannot be loaded.

AmbiguousMatchException

There is more than one attribute of type attributeType defined on this member.

Remarks

If attributeType is a base class or interface, this method returns any implementation of that type.

This method returns custom attributes defined directly on a non-inherited member only.

Calling ICustomAttributeProvider.GetCustomAttributes on PropertyInfo or EventInfo when the inherit parameter of GetCustomAttributes is true does not walk the type hierarchy. Use System.Attribute to inherit custom attributes.
