Examples

The following example checks to see whether MyProperty is appropriate to merge. First the code gets the attributes for MyProperty by:

Then the code sets myAttribute to the value of the MergablePropertyAttribute in the AttributeCollection and checks whether the property is appropriate to merge.

// Gets the attributes for the property.
AttributeCollection^ attributes = TypeDescriptor::GetProperties( this )[ "MyPropertyProperty" ]->Attributes;

// Checks to see if the property is bindable.
MergablePropertyAttribute^ myAttribute = dynamic_cast<MergablePropertyAttribute^>(attributes[ MergablePropertyAttribute::typeid ]);
if ( myAttribute->AllowMerge )
{
   // Insert code here.
}
// Gets the attributes for the property.
AttributeCollection attributes = 
   TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)["MyPropertyProperty"].Attributes;

// Checks to see if the property is bindable.
MergablePropertyAttribute myAttribute = (MergablePropertyAttribute)attributes[typeof(MergablePropertyAttribute)];
if(myAttribute.AllowMerge) {
   // Insert code here.
}
' Gets the attributes for the property.
Dim attributes As AttributeCollection = _
   TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(Me)("MyPropertyProperty").Attributes
       
' Checks to see if the property is bindable.
Dim myAttribute As MergablePropertyAttribute = _
   CType(attributes(GetType(MergablePropertyAttribute)), _
   MergablePropertyAttribute)
If myAttribute.AllowMerge Then
    ' Insert code here.
End If
