To give you a very simple example that you would have seen many times:
Suppose you have a button control in a form, and you select its "Name" property in
Property Window, observe following two things:
- At the bottom of property window, you see text explaining the property. in this case
it is: "Indicates the name used in code to identify the object"
- if you are using "categorized" view of property window, this property come under
"Design" category.
How do you think, Visual studio knows, what is the description of the selected
property and which category that belongs to?
That is retrieved exactly through custom attributes. The property should have been
defined like this:
Description("Indicates the name used in code to identify the
object"),Category("Design")]
public string Name {
get {
// Insert code here.
return propertyName;
}
set {
// Insert code here.
}
}
HTH
Cheers
