C# 特性 Attribute

一、特性是什么？

特性是可以添加到编程元素（例如程序集、类型、成员和参数）的注释。 它们存储在程序集的元数据中，可以在运行时使用反射 API 时访问。

通过定义我们可以看到特性的本质其实是一个类，所有的特性都直接或间接继承Attribute。

一般特性以“Attribute”结尾，在书写时可以省略Attribute，如果不是以Attribute结尾则不能省略。

二、特性与注释

注释：增加注释后，在Visual Studio中可以看到方法的注释说明，但在程序中无法获取。

特性：AttributeUsageAttribute、ObsoleteAttribute等可以影响编译器，SerializableAttribute、HttpPostAttribute、HttpGetAttribute、FromBodyAttribute等可以影响程序运行。

三、特性的使用

一）几个特殊特性

1、ObsoleteAttribute 如图在UserModel上标记ObsoleteAttribute特性并指定error为true时，可以强制编译器报错

#region 程序集 mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
// C:Program Files (x86)Reference AssembliesMicrosoftFramework.NETFrameworkv4.5.2mscorlib.dll
#endregion

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace System
{
    //
    // 摘要:
    //     标记不再使用的程序元素。此类不能被继承。
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Struct | AttributeTargets.Enum | AttributeTargets.Constructor | AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Property | AttributeTargets.Field | AttributeTargets.Event | AttributeTargets.Interface | AttributeTargets.Delegate, Inherited = false)]
    [ComVisible(true)]
    public sealed class ObsoleteAttribute : Attribute
    {
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     使用默认属性初始化 System.ObsoleteAttribute 类的新实例。
        public ObsoleteAttribute();
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     使用指定的变通方法消息初始化 System.ObsoleteAttribute 类的新实例。
        //
        // 参数:
        //   message:
        //     描述可选的变通方法的文本字符串。
        public ObsoleteAttribute(string message);
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     使用变通方法消息和布尔值初始化 System.ObsoleteAttribute 类的新实例，该布尔值指示是否将使用已过时的元素视为错误。
        //
        // 参数:
        //   message:
        //     描述可选的变通方法的文本字符串。
        //
        //   error:
        //     指示是否将使用已过时的元素视为错误的布尔值。
        public ObsoleteAttribute(string message, bool error);

        //
        // 摘要:
        //     获取指示编译器是否将使用已过时的程序元素视为错误的布尔值。
        //
        // 返回结果:
        //     如果将使用已过时的元素视为错误，则为 true；否则为 false。默认值为 false。
        public bool IsError { get; }
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     获取变通方法消息，包括对可选程序元素的说明。
        //
        // 返回结果:
        //     变通方法文本字符串。
        public string Message { get; }
    }
}

2、AttributeUsageAttribute 修饰特性的特性 ValidOn指定特性可以使用的范围  默认值为 All，AllowMultiple标记特性是否可以重复修饰 默认值为 false，Inherited标记特性是否可以被继承 默认值为 true

#region 程序集 mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
// C:Program Files (x86)Reference AssembliesMicrosoftFramework.NETFrameworkv4.5.2mscorlib.dll
#endregion

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace System
{
    //
    // 摘要:
    //     指定另一特性类的用法。此类不能被继承。
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true)]
    [ComVisible(true)]
    public sealed class AttributeUsageAttribute : Attribute
    {
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     用指定的 System.AttributeTargets、System.AttributeUsageAttribute.AllowMultiple 值和
        //     System.AttributeUsageAttribute.Inherited 值列表初始化 System.AttributeUsageAttribute
        //     类的新实例。
        //
        // 参数:
        //   validOn:
        //     使用按位"或"运算符组合的一组值，用于指示哪些程序元素是有效的。
        public AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets validOn);

        //
        // 摘要:
        //     获取或设置一个布尔值，该值指示能否为一个程序元素指定多个指示属性实例。
        //
        // 返回结果:
        //     如果允许指定多个实例，则为 true；否则为 false。默认值为 false。
        public bool AllowMultiple { get; set; }
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     获取或设置一个布尔值，该值指示指示的属性能否由派生类和重写成员继承。
        //
        // 返回结果:
        //     如果该属性可由派生类和重写成员继承，则为 true，否则为 false。默认值为 true。
        public bool Inherited { get; set; }
        //
        // 摘要:
        //     获取一组值，这组值标识指示的属性可应用到的程序元素。
        //
        // 返回结果:
        //     一个或多个 System.AttributeTargets 值。默认值为 All。
        public AttributeTargets ValidOn { get; }
    }
}

二）使用范围

    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All,AllowMultiple =true,Inherited =true)]
    public class CustomAttribute:Attribute
    {
        public CustomAttribute()
        {

        }
        public CustomAttribute(int Id)
        {
            this._id = Id;
        }
        public int _id;
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int Show()
        {
            return this._id;
        }
    }

    [Custom]//修饰类
    public class AttributeTest
    {
        [Custom]//修饰字段
        public string field;
        [Custom]//修饰属性
        public string Property { get; set; }

        [return: Custom]//修饰返回值 可以被堆叠修饰，也可以用‘，’隔开修饰
        [Custom,Custom(1)]//修饰方法，可以被同一特性重复修饰
        public string DoNothing([Custom]string test)//修饰方法参数
        {
            return test;
        }
        [Custom]//修饰接口
        public interface ITestInterFace { }
        [Custom]//修饰委托
        public delegate void TestDelegate();
        [Custom]//修饰事件
        public event TestDelegate TestHandle;
    }

三）特性的使用

特性单独使用，视乎并没有作用，在方法、属性、字段上标记特性，对程序并没有影响，如果把反射结合起来，特性就会产生巨大的价值。

    public class DisplayNameAttribute:Attribute
    {
        public DisplayNameAttribute(string displayName)
        {
            this.DisplayName = displayName;
        }
        public string DisplayName;
    }

    [DisplayName("用户状态")]
    public enum UserState
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// 正常
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("正常")]
        Normal = 0,

        Frozen = 1,
        /// <summary>
        /// 删除
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("删除")]
        Deleted = 2
    }

    public class TableNameAttribute:Attribute
    {
        public TableNameAttribute(string tableName)
        {
            this.TableName = tableName;
        }
        public string TableName;
    }

    [Serializable]
    [TableName("User")]
    public class UserModel : BaseModel

        public string Password { get; set; }

        /// Email

        [DisplayName("邮箱")]
        [Email]
        public string Email { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Mobile
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("手机号")]
        [Mobile]
        public string Mobile { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// CompanyId
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("公司编号")]
        public int? CompanyId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// CompanyName
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("公司名称")]
        public string CompanyName { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// 用户状态  0正常 1冻结 2删除
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("用户状态")]
        [TableName("State")]
        [Required]
        public int Status { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// 用户类型  1 普通用户 2管理员 4超级管理员
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("用户类型")]
        [Required]
        public int UserType { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// LastLoginTime
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("最近登录时间")]
        public DateTime? LastLoginTime { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// CreateTime
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("创建时间")]
        [Required]
        public DateTime CreateTime { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// CreatorId
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("关联模式")]
        [Required]
        public int CreatorId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// LastModifierId
        /// </summary>
        [DisplayName("最后修改编号")]
        public int? LastModifierId { get; set; }
