MemberInfoDecoratorExtensions

Examples

MemberInfoDecoratorExtensions provides extension methods on Decorator.Enclose for checking whether a MemberInfo has one or more custom attributes via HasAttribute. This example gets MemberInfo for a method without attributes and another decorated with [Obsolete], then calls HasAttribute with single (ObsoleteAttribute) and multiple attribute types on each. Console output shows False for the method without ObsoleteAttribute, False for Obsolete or EditorBrowsable, and True for the deprecated method, confirming correct attribute detection through the decorator pattern.
