Custom attributes

[Rodie]

Hi all

I have a class that contains several variable declarations.
From inside this class, I have methods that get the value of some of the previous variables, not all of them. I think I should have a kind of attribute to know which variables are part of the selection.

For example:

public class myclass {
  private string myvar1 = null;
  [XmlAttribute]
  private string myvar2 = null;
  private string myvar3 = null;
  ...
  private void getValue() {
    // get only the variable that have the [XmlAttribute] attribute
  }
}

Do you have any idea how I could do that?
Thanks a lot for your help

I'm not sure I see the value in doing this.

If your GetValue method needs to return different stuff at some point in the future, why not just make the change there, rather than adding/removing attributes?
