Get the description attributes At class level

Question

I have such a class

[Description(\"This is a wahala class\")]
public class Wahala
{

}

Is there anyway to get the content of the Descript

Answer 1

You can use reflection to read attribute data:

System.Reflection.MemberInfo inf = typeof(Wahala);
object[] attributes;
attributes = 
   inf.GetCustomAttributes(
        typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

foreach(Object attribute in attributes)
{
    DescriptionAttribute da = (DescriptionAttribute)attribute;
    Console.WriteLine("Description: {0}", da.Description);
}

Adapted from here.
