if you are referring writing IDL for COM using C++ yeah it sure is... we had
tags there as well... that was more like RPC def with COM enhancements
but templates no. cant think of a similarity. with attributes you are
marking the particular class so that framework knows how to treat it as Jon
mentioned in your earlier post.. whether a particular class is say
Serializable. or Is it a WebService or is a particular method in a
WebService class a WebMethod to be exposed.
Vector or a map or a string in STL etc dont need or use attributes and you
dont define any if you are making your class a template class, you just
specify generic substitute typename T but you have generics in C++ for .net
as well and coming to C# in 2.0
