This was a feature I really looked forward to using in .Net. However, now that .Net has finally been released, I haven't found a single book that talks about it. All the posting about this on this discussion group were dated before the final release of .Net. MSDN help also states "The ContextAttribute type supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." Was this capability pulled from public use? Where I work, we can't really use features that may be changed by MS in the future. This would be very disappointing news as the regular attributes (metadata stamping, whoopee doo <sarcastic>) is practically useless in speeding up software development.
