Attribute In C#

This article describes attributes in C#.

What Is An Attribute?

Attributes provide a means to associate declarative information with types, methods, and properties.

Declarative Information

The declarative information specifies what the associated types, methods, and properties need to be performed but does not explain how to implement them. Consider an example of the following HTML tag.

<b>text</b>

The above tag instructs the browser to display the text in bold, but it does not provide any steps to achieve this.

Syntax

[Attribute_Name]
Element

Example

[Obsolete]
public int MyObseleteProperty {
	get;
	set;
}

In the above code, we mark the method as obsolete but do not specify any steps for achieving it.
