 > This scenario doesn't address trust issues. Assemblies can carry full Microsoft Authenticode signatures in addition to a strong name. Authenticode signatures include a certificate that establishes trust. It's important to note that strong names don't require code to be signed in this way. Strong names only provide a unique identity.

+# Apply attributes
+
+Use the following process to apply an attribute to an element of your code.
+
+1. Define a new attribute or use an existing .NET attribute.
+
+2. Apply the attribute to the code element by placing it immediately before the element.
+
      Each language has its own attribute syntax. In C++ and C#, the attribute is surrounded by square brackets and separated from the element by white space, which can include a line break. In Visual Basic, the attribute is surrounded by angle brackets and must be on the same logical line; the line continuation character can be used if a line break is desired.
-
-3. Specify positional parameters and named parameters for the attribute.  
-
-     Positional parameters are required and must come before any named parameters; they correspond to the parameters of one of the attribute's constructors. Named parameters are optional and correspond to read/write properties of the attribute. In C++, and C#, specify `name`=`value` for each optional parameter, where `name` is the name of the property. In Visual Basic, specify `name`:=`value`.  
-
- The attribute is emitted into metadata when you compile your code and is available to the common language runtime and any custom tool or application through the runtime reflection services.  
-
- By convention, all attribute names end with Attribute. However, several languages that target the runtime, such as Visual Basic and C#, do not require you to specify the full name of an attribute. For example, if you want to initialize <xref:System.ObsoleteAttribute?displayProperty=nameWithType>, you only need to reference it as **Obsolete**.  
-
-## Applying an Attribute to a Method  
- The following code example shows how to declare **System.ObsoleteAttribute**, which marks code as obsolete. The string `"Will be removed in next version"` is passed to the attribute. This attribute causes a compiler warning that displays the passed string when code that the attribute describes is called.

-# Extending Metadata Using Attributes
-The common language runtime allows you to add keyword-like descriptive declarations, called attributes, to annotate programming elements such as types, fields, methods, and properties. When you compile your code for the runtime, it is converted into Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and placed inside a portable executable (PE) file along with metadata generated by the compiler. Attributes allow you to place extra descriptive information into metadata that can be extracted using runtime reflection services. The compiler creates attributes when you declare instances of special classes that derive from <xref:System.Attribute?displayProperty=nameWithType>.  
-
- The .NET Framework uses attributes for a variety of reasons and to address a number of issues. Attributes describe how to serialize data, specify characteristics that are used to enforce security, and limit optimizations by the just-in-time (JIT) compiler so the code remains easy to debug. Attributes can also record the name of a file or the author of code, or control the visibility of controls and members during forms development.

-.NET also enables you to create an assembly that contains compiled regular expressions. This moves the performance hit of regular expression compilation from run time to design time. However, it also involves some additional work: You must define the regular expressions in advance and compile them to an assembly. The compiler can then reference this assembly when compiling source code that uses the assembly’s regular expressions.
