Determines whether the custom attribute of the specified type or its derived types is applied to this parameter.

public:
 virtual bool IsDefined(Type ^ attributeType, bool inherit);

public virtual bool IsDefined (Type attributeType, bool inherit);

abstract member IsDefined : Type * bool -> bool
override this.IsDefined : Type * bool -> bool

Public Overridable Function IsDefined (attributeType As Type, inherit As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

attributeType: Type

The Type object to search for.

inherit: Boolean

This argument is ignored for objects of this type.

Returns

Boolean

true if one or more instances of attributeType or its derived types are applied to this parameter; otherwise, false.

Implements

IsDefined(Type, Boolean)

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

attributeType is null.

ArgumentException

attributeType is not a Type object supplied by the common language runtime.

Examples

The following example defines two custom attributes, MyAttribute and MyDerivedAttribute. MyDerivedAttribute is derived from MyAttribute. The example then applies these attributes to the parameters of a method of an example class.

When the example is run, it uses the IsDefined method to test all parameters of all methods in the example class. It then displays the parameters that have MyAttribute or MyDerivedAttribute.

Remarks

This method ignores the inherit parameter. To search the inheritance chain for attributes on parameters, use the appropriate overloads of the Attribute.IsDefined method.
