Is the following possible? If so, is this the proper way to do it?
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTarget.Property,Inherited= true,AllowMultiple=true)]
public class SecurityInfoAttribute : Attribute
{
// Private Data
private int readable;
private int writable;
// Constructor
public SecurityInfoAttribute(int readable, int writable)
{
this.security_readable = 0;
this.security_writable = 0;
}
public int Readable
{
get
{
return readable;
}
set
{
readable = value;
}
}
public int Writable
{
get
{
return writable;
}
set
{
writable = value;
}
}
}
public class employee {
string name;
[SecurityInfo(getReadSecurityInfo(userId), getWriteSecurityInfo(userId))]
string Name{get{return name;}set{name = value;}}
}
And then examine the name property of this object from within the client
code in order to show it to that user or not, based on the security info
attribute.

Is it possible to define an attribute that describes a property of a
class at runtime?
For example, you have a class called "employee", and it has a property
"name". The "name" property has an attribute that tells any calling
code whether or not this property is "writable" and/or "readable", even
though this property has both get/set accessors.
Maybe there is another way to do this, and I just don't have enough
experience.
Any help is appreciated.
