So I need to get a List<string> from my enum Here is what I have done so far: enum definition [Flags] public enum ContractorType { [Description("Recipient")] RECIPIENT = 1, [Description("Deliver")] DELIVER = 2, [Description("Recipient / Deliver")] RECIPIENT_DELIVER = 4 } HelperClass with method to do what I need: public static class EnumUtils { public static IEnumerable<string> GetDescrptions(Type enumerator) { FieldInfo[] fi = enumerator.GetFields(); List<DescriptionAttribute> attributes = new List<DescriptionAttribute>(); foreach (var i in fi) { try { yield return attributes.Add((

I have an ASP.NET Web API project. Using reflection, how can I get the Http verb ( [HttpGet] in the example below) attribute which decorates my action methods? [HttpGet] public ActionResult Index(int id) { ... } Assume that I have the above action method in my controller. So far, by using reflection I have been able to get a MethodInfo object of the Index action method which i have stored in a variable called methodInfo I tried to get the http verb using the following but it did not work - returns null: var httpVerb = methodInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof (AcceptVerbsAttribute), false).Cast

I've got a bunch of routes that I want to be able to throw in my Web.Config file. I need one key and two value fields for each section/item in the collection. Something along the lines of this... <routes> <add key="AdministrationDefault" url="Administration/" file="~Administration/Default.aspx" /> <add key="AdministrationCreateCampaign" url="Administration/CreateCampaign/" file="~/Administration/CreateCampaign.aspx" /> <add key="AdministrationLogout" url="Administration/Leave/" file="~/Administration/Leave.aspx" /> </routes> Is this possible?

Anyone know of any code that duplicates how the DebuggerDisplayAttribute parses and gathers the resultant string? I would like to create a custom attribute that does nearly the sample thing. Similiar to "When a breakpoint is hit..." where you can use a variable within curly braces, as in "{variable}". I already handle simple cases, such as "{Name}", but something like "{Foo.Name}" requires extra reflection code that I need help with. Basically, I want to parse a string using the rules defined in the DebuggerDisplayAttribute documentation. Currently, I can parse and resolve "I am {GetName()}".

Checking out the sample code from http://lukesampson.com/post/471548689/entering-and-exiting-https-with-asp-net-mvc written for ASP.NET MVC2, I noticed they can check if a custom attribute is applied to the current action or controller by accessing filterContext.ActionDescriptor and filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ControllerDescriptor respectively: public class ExitHttpsIfNotRequiredAttribute : FilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter { public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext) { // snip // abort if a [RequireHttps] attribute is applied to controller or action if

I'm trying to create a custom attribute called Tag for all editable elements. I added the following to attrs.xml <declare-styleable name="Spinner"> <attr name="tag" format="string" /> </declare-styleable> <declare-styleable name="EditText"> <attr name="tag" format="string" /> </declare-styleable> I get an error saying "Attribute tag has already been defined" for the EditText. Is it not possible to create a custom attribute of the same name on different elements? If you are going to use an attr in more than one place then put it in the root element inside the <resources> element like the

I want to put [FirstTime] attribute above a controller function and then create a FirstTimeAttribute that has some logic that checks whether the user has entered his name, and redirects him to /Home/FirstTime if he hasn't. So Instead of doing: public ActionResult Index() { // Some major logic here if (...) return RedirectToAction("FirstTime", "Home"); return View(); } I would just do: [FirstTime] public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } Is this possible? Sure. Do something like public class FirstTimeAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { public override void OnActionExecuting
