  Type: array<System.Object[]
  Values for the named properties of the custom attribute.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The lengths of the namedProperties and propertyValues arrays are different. -or- The lengths of the namedFields and fieldValues arrays are different. -or- con is static or private. -or- The number of supplied arguments does not match the number of parameters of the constructor as required by the calling convention of the constructor. -or- The type of supplied argument does not match the type of the parameter declared in the constructor. -or- The types of the property values do not match the types of the named properties. -or- The types of the field values do not match the types of the corresponding field types. -or- A property has no setter. -or- The property or field does not belong to the same class or base class as the constructor. -or- A supplied argument, named property, or named field is a reference type other than String or Type.
ArgumentNullException	One of the parameters is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The elements of the constructorArgs, propertyValues, or fieldValues arrays are restricted to element types. They can be byte, sbyte, int, uint, long, ulong, float, double, String, char, bool, an enum, a type, any of the previous types that was cast to an object, or a single-dimension, zero-based array of any of the previous types.

Important Note:
Do not include private properties or fields in namedProperties or namedFields. Doing so will cause CustomAttributeFormatException to be thrown when the GetCustomAttributes method is later called on the completed type.
