The Visual Basic compiler and .NET platform automatically recognize the meaning of the attributes based on attribute classes in the .NET Framework Class Library. This recognition isn't true, however, for custom attributes. Thus, not only must you define them, you must also develop a set of routines that will identify the presence of an attribute so your code can handle them. NET assemblies are self-describing; when the compiler creates the .NET assembly, it writes metadata describing the assembl...

Attributes are declarative tags that can be used to annotate types or class members, thereby modifying their meaning or customizing their behavior. This descriptive information provided by the attribute is stored as metadata in a .NET assembly and can be extracted either at design time or at runtime using reflection....

Again, I know there are numerous examples of alpha blending stuff, but many are not true blends, such as one of my articles, others call managing transparencies as blends
and others are truly complicated transforms and merges....

Visual Basic.NET provides a totally new language construct called "Attributes". Attributes allow the developer to specify information about a class, method, parameter etc. This information could change runtime behaviour, provide details about the usage of a class, or expose organisational information to the development team. Custom attributes allow the programmer to specify custom details about a programming construct that is both directly visible and available when reading the code (as a commen...

An attribute is merely a class that inherits from System.Attribute, which makes it very easy to implement a custom attribute. In this section, we'll build a custom attribute called , which allows a developer to add assorted information (the developer's name, the date, a comment, and whether a code modification was a response to a bug) to code....

In the following code snippets we'll cover how to get the properties of your object at run time. This can be handy to know if you're going to generate dynamic reports, or some other function of dynamically viewing and assigning values of the properties of an object....

One of the most powerful aspects of the Microsoft® .NET Framework is its support for attributes. Attribute-based programming is extremely powerful because it adds a declarative dimension to designing and writing software. Declarative programming provides an elegant new way for developers to leverage services and functionality from reusable libraries and frameworks as well as from developer tools, such as the Visual Basic® .NET compiler. As a user of Visual Basic .NET, it's essential that you und...

I'm trying to decide which Microsoft® .NET-compliant language to use to build my applications. I know one of the advantages of C# is the ability to comment code and turn those comments into XML docs. If I use Visual Basic® .NET, can I still do this?
It's been obvious to me that with a little work, a cool documentation facility could be added to Visual Basic .NET. Recently, I found the time to dig into it. As luck would have it, I just picked up a copy of Matt Tagliaferri's book, Visual Basic...

A performance counter monitors the behavior of performance objects on a computer. These include physical components, such as processors, disks, and memory, and system objects, such as processes and threads. There are also a large number of performance counters created (and maintained) by the .NET common language run time environment, including % time spent in garbage collection, and total size of managed heaps etc....

You can define a class in any project and any source file. Technically, attributes are just classes. However, because you use attributes to decorate elements of code, you may want to use them in more than just one particular project. For this reason, it's a good idea to create attributes in a separate class library assembly. You can use the Class Library project template to create a new class library project. The Class Library project template uses the Wizard Engine to make a copy of a .vb file ...
