MBR IT/.NET 247 : System.AttributeTargets Enumeration [Articles]

Then I came up with the idea of creating classes that would say how they should be persisted in the database. I would use attributes to say what database table my object should be persisted to, as well as other attributes to say what are the properties that should be mapped to table columns. From now on to update my code after a change in the solution I would only change the business object class.

Attributes in .NET

C#Today

Developers have traditionally been adopting a functional approach to programming. Everything is a function or method, and functionality is explicitly asked for. While this works for building a monolith style application, component based programming doesnt exactly fit into this methodology. Loosely coupled systems are now being advocated over closely coupled systems. Furthermore, declarative and attribute based programming is gaining popularity where attributes can be declared on a class that annotate the behavior of the code and communicate this to the runtime and other objects. The .NET framework brings mainstream attribute based programming to the Windows environment by allowing the use of predefined and custom attributes on classes, and most code elements. In this article, we will look into the support that the .NET framework provides for attribute based programming and we will demonstrate the use of custom attributes by building a sample application that can trace all calls to your component by merely declaring a single attribute.

Creating and Using Attributes in your .NET application

How Can You Migrate Your Existing Applications?

C# Corner

When a new technology emerges, companies and developers begin to wait anxiously for answers to their questions. Programmers need to learn about the new stuff because they want to use the new tools to develop their projects. Companies always want to move to new technology and build new products therefore; developers need to improve their knowledge and ability constantly to maintain their job against the new technology developers. Now, to learn and move to .NET environment is the answer to all these necessities. Our first objective is Visual C++ and migrating with .NET.
