Question

I’m trying to do the following:

[FooAttribute(Value = String.Format("{0} - {1}", myReources.BaseString, "Bar"))]
public int FooBar { get; set; }

The compiler complains though… so what is the correct way to do it where I have my BaseString in one location? My code is littered with attributes on the properties inside my library, so “global” internal const sound like the solution since I can’t use resources.

Answer 1

You can’t have expressions like string.Format in an attribute…but the following should work:

public class MyResources
{
    public const string BaseString = "there";
}

[FooAttribute(Value = MyReources.BaseString + " - Bar"))]
public int FooBar { get; set; }
