Click to expand...

You can only set properties via the constructor, so you would have to call
it like this:

[MyCustomAttr("clssA", IncludeOnBrowse = true)]

and change the constructor to accept two arguments.
 
No that's not true. The attribute syntax you showed is correct, but
IncludeOnBrowse has to remain a property in order to set it by name.
