Attributes helps us use class dependant values instead of instances and they help us

  • 0

Attributes helps us use class dependant values instead of instances and they help us carry some values without strong relation with our classes. But i found some restrictions on attributes. We are not able to change these values on runtime. So i am looking a way to use similiar concept to attributes as we have seen many example configure classes by fluent apis instead of attributes. Do you know such a ready library ? What is an alternative to use attribute concept for avoiding attribute restrictions ?

    Actually in some cases you can tweak attributes at runtime – for example via TypeDescriptor – but this only affects ComponentModel usage, not reflection usage. You can also write the attribute itself to do things like resx lookup for i18n purposes.

    But other options:

    • maybe a static property, perhaps following a naming convention
    • a separate object model that talks about the types – a meta-model, so to speak
    • a configuration file or similar

    Any will work; which is best depends on exactly what you have in mind.
