cliss / CarouselItem.cs
Created August 2, 2013 13:39
Example of a C# class, CarouselItem, that uses attributes to decorate fields/ivars and also properties. The attribute is Column, which corresponds to a custom class I wrote which is called ColumnAttribute (convention dictates this), which is shown below as well.
[XmlRoot(ElementName="Item")]
public class CarouselItem
{
#region Fields
#pragma warning disable 649
[Column("URL")]
private string _url;
