Take a look here to get some idea about the uses for attributes in just the

What? Most sounds like poor hacks to get around compiler/linker limitations.
<paste>
Microsoft.VisualC.DebugInfoInPDBAttribute: An attribute applied to
native classes that tells the debugger to look up field information in
the pdb rather than in metadata.
Microsoft.VisualC.DecoratedNameAttribute: An attribute used by the
compiler to pass the decorated name of a method to the linker.
System.CLSCompliantAttribute: Indicates whether a program element is
compliant with the Common Language Specification (CLS). This class
cannot be inherited.
</paste>
Half of them have "This class cannot be inherited.".
There are also useful ones though:
<paste>
System.ComponentModel.DefaultPropertyAttribute: Specifies the default
property for a component.
</paste>
No, wait! We already have that! :-)
Perhaps there are also useful ones, that do reduce application and
framework programmers code significantly?
