querying for properties that has implemented an attribute ?

KK
Hi,

I apply a custom Attribute to several properties
in a class. There are about 15 of those. I want
to know how I can programatically get ONLY those
properties that I have applied my attribute.

What I want is rather than calling those 15 attributes
like;

Object.Prop1
Object.Prop2
Object.Prop3 etc..

Is there a way to call it using reflection

foreach (Property that implements MyCustomAttribu te){
object.Call Property that implements attribute
}

Thanks
KK

Here's an example
HTH,
Andy
using System;
using System.Collecti ons.Generic;
using System.Reflecti on;

namespace Xox
{
class MyAttrib : Attribute { }
class XXX
{
[MyAttrib]
public int III
{
get { return 0; }
set { ; }
}
}
class Program
{
private static List<PropertyIn fo> FindProps(Type tp, Type
attribType)
{
List<PropertyIn fo> props = new List<PropertyIn fo>();
PropertyInfo[] pis = tp.GetPropertie s();
for (int i = 0; i < pis.Length; ++i)
{
object[] attribs =
pis[i].GetCustomAttri butes(typeof(My Attrib), false);
for (int j = 0; j < attribs.Length; ++j)
{
if (attribType.IsA ssignableFrom(a ttribs[j].GetType()))
{
props.Add(pis[i]);
break;
}
}
}
return props;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<PropertyIn fo> props = FindProps(typeo f(XXX),
typeof(MyAttrib ));

XXX objectInstance = new XXX();

// so something with the props;
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in props)
{
// try to set
if (pi.CanWrite)
pi.SetValue(obj ectInstance, 5, null);
// try read
int i = -1;
if(pi.CanRead)
i = (int)pi.GetValu e(objectInstanc e, null);
}
}
}
}

I'm trying to write a decorator similar to property, with the difference that it applies to the defining class (and its subclasses) instead of its instances. This would provide, among others, a way to define the equivalent of class-level constants: class Foo(object): @classproperty def TheAnswer(cls): return "The Answer according to %s is 42" % cls.__name__

What are peoples views on using readonly properties to return the sum of a calculation? For instance you might have a invoice class that has itemprice and quantity properties. Would the total be implemented as readonly prop Total to return itemprice * quantity or method CalculateTotal which returns the same thing. A readonly prop is, IMHO, more intuitive as it is still an attribute of this class but what about when you have a longer...

Having a hard time phrasing this in the form of a question... The other day I saw a thread where someone asked about overrideable properties and nobody offered the advice that properties are Bad. So maybe we've got over that. I suppose properties could have Bad consequences if a user doesn't know they exist and think that a certain property of an object is just an ordinary attribute. But that applies to
