Interface ICustomAttribute

Represents the custom attribute data

Namespace: CilTools.Reflection

Assembly: CilTools.BytecodeAnalysis.dll

Syntax

public interface ICustomAttribute

Remarks

This interface is needed to support fetching custom attribute data in reflection-only mode in .NET Framework 3.5. The library treats objects that implement ICustomAttribute in a special way when processing an array returned by MethodBase.GetCustomAttributes, fetching raw attribute data instead of attempting to emulate that data based on what reflection returns for an attribute type. Implement this interface when you need to pass your custom method object to APIs like CilGraph and make it possible to read raw data of method's custom attributes.
