Summary:
.NET provides a totally new language construct called "Attributes". Attributes allow the developer to specify information about a class, method, parameter etc. This information could change runtime behaviour, provide details about the usage of a class, or expose organisational information to the development team. Custom attributes allow the programmer to specify custom details about a programming construct that is both directly visible and available when reading the code (as a comment is), but is also available through the .NET framework.
