Hey guys,

We're missing a bunch of Attributes in the classes for the System.Web
namespace. I played around with the reflection API (always fun!) and
came up with a tool that'll show what Attributes are missing in each
class.

If anyone's interested, you can use this tool to add the missing bits to
the classes. This is a great way to start contributing to the project.
Any help is really appreciated.

If you look into the ToString() method in the AttributeCollection class
in the file, you'll see that there's a 'filter' for finding out what
type of Attribute it is. All you need to do is add new filters, then
find out from the documentation what useful information can obtained
from each particular Attribute.

Gonzalo said that, when adding these Attributes, please start with
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls, then WebControls, then Validators.

If there is any other questions, please mail me.

Thanks,
