You can use Reflection to do this. You call GetType to get the Type
definition; with that, you can call GetCustomAttributes to get
Type-associated attributes, or call GetMember (and others) to get
MemberInfos of a Type. You can then query the MemberInfos with
GetCustomAttributes and get member-associated attributes.
