Body
It is, but ultimately it's going to be a roundabout way, since you will get the <code>Type</code> instance from calling <code>GetType</code> on your instance that exposes the property, and then work on that(more often than not). In this specific case, your extension method isn't going to be able to get the attribute information because all you are passing to it is a string. Ultimately, what you need is something to get the <code>PropertyInfo</code> for the property from. Other answers are referring to the <code>Type</code>, what they lack is, this is not the only way to get the attribute information at the <code>PropertyInfo</code> which you want. You can do that by passing a <code>Type</code> instance with a string, presumably, with the property name, so you can call <code>GetProperty</code> on the <code>Type</code>. Another way of doing this since C# 3.0 has been to have a method that takes an <code>Expression<T></code> and then use the parts of the <code>Expression</code> to get at the <code>PropertyInfo</code>. In this case, you would take an <code>Expression<Func<string>></code> or something where <code>TResult</code> is string. Once you have the <code>PropertyInfo</code>, you can call <code>GetCustomAttributes</code> on it, and look for your attribute. The advantage to the expression approach is that <code>Expression<T></code> derives from <code>LambdaExpression</code>, which you can call <code>Compile</code> on, and then call to get the actual value, if you need it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
