Applied .NET Attributes by Tom Barnaby, Jason Bock

 

 
Applied .NET Attributes focuses specifically on a part of .NET called "attributes". Attributes are used to modify the runtime behavior of code in the .NET framework. This book explores the application of .NET attributes and how developers can write custom attributes that provide the maximum level of code reuse and flexibility. Attributed programming is a feature of .NET that is still relatively unexplored and unknown. Because attributes are used to modify the runtime behavior of code in the .NET framework, it is extremely important and will become more important over time. The fundamentals of attributes, common .NET attributes, use of custom attributes, and advanced techniques will be covered.
