The AttributeDescription class has the following public methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|

| GetHashCode() |
Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| ToString() |
Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
The AttributeDescription class has the following public properties.
| Property | Description |

If you plan to get the attributes on an object, such as through the WriteLine method, then you must declare the TypeDescriptionCollection in order to have access to the AttributeDescription objects. The following code example demonstrates how to do this. See TypeDescription for more information and a code example.
