MethodBase.Attributes Property
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets the attributes associated with this method.
Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Attributes As MethodAttributes
public abstract MethodAttributes Attributes { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Reflection.MethodAttributes
The attributes of the method.
Remarks
All members have a set of attributes, which are defined in relation to the specific type of member.
To get the MethodAttributes, first get the type. From the type, get the method. From the method, get the MethodAttributes.
Examples
The following code example displays the attributes of the user-defined method Mymethod.
