public class MemberInfo_GetCustomAttributes_IsDefined
{
public static void Main()
{
Type myType = typeof(MyClass1);
MemberInfo[] myMembers = myType.GetMembers();
for(int i = 0; i < myMembers.Length; i++)
{
if(myMembers[i].IsDefined(typeof(MyAttribute), false))
{
Object[] myAttributes = myMembers[i].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyAttribute), false);
Console.WriteLine(myMembers[i]);
