Some attribute questions

Hello.

Can i specify that an attribute can only be applied to a property with a set accessor?

Can i get all attributes of a specific type of a class and then through the attribute instance get the members that they where applied to?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not fully understand what you're asking about. If you can revise your question, I may help you out here. If you can also throw in some pseudo codes, that's great to illustrate your idea. Cheers.

re: Some attribute questions

what i want to know is if there is a way to specify to the compiler that a custom attribute can only be applied to a property with a set accessor (CanWrite == true).

Something like AttributeUsage does.

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)]
public class SomeAttribute : Attribute {}

public SomeClass
{
[SomeAttribute ] //I want a compiler error here because the attribute SomeAttribute is applied to an property that does not have a set
public int onlyGetProp { get {return 0;} }

[SomeAttribute ] //
public int onlyGetProp { get {return 0;} set { /*do something*/} }
}

Is it possible to have the described behavior?

Also can i do something like this:

Attribute[] atts = (Attribute[])GetType().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(SomeAttribut e), true);
foreach(Attribute a in atts)
{
MemberInfo mi = a.getMember(); //this method should give the member info where the instance of the attribute has applied, does such thing exists???
}
