Force the usage of an attribute on properties, if they already have another attribute
c#, custom-attributes
Solution
Another option is using some AOP techniques. Like for example:
PostSharp.
Using it you can at compilation analyze yur code and emit a error if some condition does not sutisfies your requirements.
For concrete example on attributes, can have a look on :
PostSharp 2.1: Reflecting Custom Attributes
Problem
I want to force the usage of an `attribute`, if another `attribute` is used. If a special 3rd party `attribute` is attached to a `property`, this `attribute` also needs to be given to a `property`. Is there any possibility of doing this? For example: ``` [Some3rdPartyAttribute("...")] [RequiredAttribute("...)] public bool Example{get; set;} ``` should bring no compile error, ``` [Some3rdPartyAttribute("...")] public bool Example{get; set;} ``` should bring a compile error or warning. The `attribute` itself is definded like the example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/z919e8tw(v=vs.80).aspx itself . But how to force the usage of the `attribute` if another `attribute` is used?
