[Nathan Sokalski]

Does anybody know of a page with a good reference of the available Metadata
Attributes in .NET? Thanks.

Nathan,

Wow, you carefully picked the groups to post to, didn't you?

Does anybody know of a page with a good reference of the available Metadata
Attributes in .NET? Thanks.

Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "metadata attribute"?

Here is a code example I copied from the .NET documentation:


Public Class MyControl
Inherits Control
' The base class has [Browsable(true)] applied to the Text property.
<Browsable(False)> _
Public Overrides Property [Text]() As String
...
End Property
...
End Class


In this code, <Browsable(False)> is a metadata attribute. Because I am
somewhat new to using metadata attributes (which is why I want to find a
page with a list of the ones available), I can't really give much more than
that.

Very first, the Metadata Attributes are the classes that inherits
System.Attribute class provided by .NET framework. So, you can check
this thru MSDN itself.

You can also have a custom attributes for your class. The below url can
get you good amount of insight about the Attributes and its usage.
