Question

How can I access C# class attributes inside a Razor engine view file?

C# class:

[Name="Test"]
public class OrderProgressPage
{
    bool isComplete();
}

Razor view:

@model ViewModels.OrderProgressPage
<ul>
    <li>@GETAttribute(Name,Model)</li>
<ul>

Answer 1

One clean way to do that would be by using a local function in the Razor file

@functions
{
    private Test GetTestAttribute(object obj)
    {
        // TODO: This returns null if TestAttribute was not on the class
        TestAttribute myAttribute =
            Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(obj, typeof (TestAttribute)) as TestAttribute;
    }
}

<li>@GetTestAttribute(myClassInstance)</li>

If you need to pass in an attribute name to check, you can use

Type.GetType(string typeName)

Depending on what you are doing, you could also change GetTestAttribute to a generic function with a signature like

private T GetAttribute<T>(object obj)
