MemberInfo.IsDefined(Type, Boolean) Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether one or more attributes of the specified type or of its derived types is applied to this member.

public:
 abstract bool IsDefined(Type ^ attributeType, bool inherit);
public abstract bool IsDefined (Type attributeType, bool inherit);
abstract member IsDefined : Type * bool -> bool
Public MustOverride Function IsDefined (attributeType As Type, inherit As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

attributeType
Type

The type of custom attribute to search for. The search includes derived types.

inherit
Boolean

true to search this member's inheritance chain to find the attributes; otherwise, false. This parameter is ignored for properties and events.

Returns

true if one or more instances of attributeType or any of its derived types is applied to this member; otherwise, false.

Implements

Examples

The following example determines whether the specified attribute is applied to the specified member.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

// Define a class that has the custom attribute associated with one of its members.

Remarks

This method ignores the inherit parameter for properties and events. To search the inheritance chain for attributes on properties and events, use the appropriate overloads of the Attribute.IsDefined method.

Note

In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this method returns true if a type, method, or constructor has security attributes stored in the new metadata format. Assemblies compiled with version 2.0 use this format. Dynamic assemblies and assemblies compiled with earlier versions of the .NET Framework use the old XML format. See Emitting Declarative Security Attributes.
