Example

The following example demonstrates how AttributeTargets can be used with AttributeUsageAttribute so that a user-defined attribute class, Author, can be applied to structures and classes. The Author attribute is then applied to a class. There is no output.

C# Example

using System; [AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class| AttributeTargets.Struct)] public class Author : Attribute { public Author(string Name) { this.name = Name; } string name; } [Author("John Q Public")] class JohnsClass { public static void Main() { } }
