I want to pass in the attribute name and return the value. This will be in a generic util and it will not know the attribute type.
Update This is the actual working code if someone needs to do this. I needed a way to have the core code parse the attributes without knowing what they were.
public void LoadPropertiesToGrid(BaseGridPropertyModel model)
{
foreach (PropertyInfo prop in ReflectionUtil.FindPublicPropeties(model))
{
object editTyp = ReflectionUtil.GetPropertyAttributes(prop, "EditorType");
object rowIdx = ReflectionUtil.GetPropertyAttributes(prop, "ColIndex");
object name = ReflectionUtil.GetPropertyAttributes(prop, "Name");
object visible = ReflectionUtil.GetPropertyAttributes(prop, "Visible");
ConfigureColumn((string) name, (int) rowIdx, (bool) visible, (string) editTyp);
}
}
[Serializable]
public class CanvasPropertiesViewModel : BaseGridPropertyModel
{
[PropertiesGrid(Name = "TEsting Name 0", ColIndex = 0)]
public string StringData1 { get; set; }
[PropertiesGrid(Name = "TEsting Name 2", ColIndex = 2)]
public string StringData2 { get; set; }
[PropertiesGrid(Name = "TEsting Name 1", ColIndex = 1)]
public string StringData3 { get; set; }
}
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]

}
public static object GetPropertyAttributes(PropertyInfo prop, string attributeName)
{
// look for an attribute that takes one constructor argument
foreach (CustomAttributeData attribData in prop.GetCustomAttributesData())
{
string typeName = attribData.Constructor.DeclaringType.Name;
//if (attribData.ConstructorArguments.Count == 1 && (typeName == attributeName || typeName == attributeName + "Attribute"))

foreach (CustomAttributeNamedArgument att in attribData.NamedArguments)
{
if(att.GetPropertyValue<string>("MemberName") == attributeName)

return att.TypedValue.Value;

return null;
