In other words could it be possible to create assembly, which does not even compile (assuming the checking code is not removed ) if each one of the Classes does not have ( "must have" ) custom attributes ( for example Author and Version ) ?
Here is the code I have used for querying during run time :
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace ForceMetaAttributes
{
[System.AttributeUsage ( System.AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = true )]
class TodoAttribute : System.Attribute
{
public TodoAttribute ( string message )
{
Message = message;
}
public readonly string Message;
}
[System.AttributeUsage ( System.AttributeTargets.Class |
System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple = true )]
public class AttributeClass : System.Attribute
{
public string Description { get; set; }
public string MusHaveVersion { get; set; }
public AttributeClass ( string description, string mustHaveVersion )
{
Description = description;
MusHaveVersion = mustHaveVersion ;
}
} //eof class
[AttributeClass("AuthorName" , "1.0.0")]
class ClassToDescribe
{
[Todo ( " A todo message " )]
static void Method ()
{ }
} //eof class
//how to get this one to fail on compile
class AnotherClassToDescribe
{
} //eof class
class QueryApp
{
public static void Main()
{
Type type = typeof(ClassToDescribe);
AttributeClass objAttributeClass;
//Querying Class Attributes
foreach (Attribute attr in type.GetCustomAttributes(true))
{
objAttributeClass = attr as AttributeClass;
if (null != objAttributeClass)
{
Console.WriteLine("De
