There are really two questions here
Is it possible for attributes in general to be applied to class, method’s or properties?
Yes attributes can validly target any of these constructs (and many others)
Is it valid for a specific attribute to do so?
That depends on the specific attribute. Attributes can control which constructs they can be applied to via the
AttributeTargetsenum and hence make it illegal for a specific attribute to be applied to a specific construct.For example the
ParamArrayAttributecan only target parameters while theObsoleteAttributecan target pretty much anything (except assemblies and maybe one other I’m missing)
