Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. I've decorated a page
with my attribute like this:

[ToDo("hardie.ca", "2007-07-16", Comment = "Do not hardcode the site
ID!")]
partial class admin_Section : System.Web.UI.Page

The attribute has been coded as follows:

[AttributeUsage((AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method),
AllowMultiple=true)]
public class ToDoAttribute : System.Attribute {

   //  Private member data
   private string _comment;

   private string _date;

   private string _programmer;

   public ToDoAttribute(string programmer, string myDate) {
       this._programmer = programmer;
       this._date = myDate;
   }

   public string Comment {
       get {
           return _comment;
       }
       set {
           _comment = value;
       }
   }

   public string LogDate {
       get {
           return _date;
       }
   }

   public string Programmer {
       get {
           return _programmer;
       }
   }
}

But the page that lists all the attributes only finds them when
they're in app_code. I can see all the assemblies generated by viewing
the output of AppDomain.GetAssemblies, but attribute decorations on
partial classes in the ASPX files aren't being recognized.

protected void Page_Unload(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
       AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
       Assembly[] assems = currentDomain.GetAssemblies();
       string alltypes = "";
       Assembly assem;
       foreach (assem in assems) {
           Type[] types = assem.GetTypes();
           foreach (Type t in types) {
               MemberInfo inf = t;
               object[] attributes;
               attributes =
inf.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(ToDoAttribute), false);
               foreach (object attribute in attributes) {
                   alltypes = (alltypes + a.s.FullName);
                   ToDoAttribute todo;
                   attribute;
                   ToDoAttribute;
                   alltypes = (alltypes + ("<p>"
                               + (t.ToString() + "<br>")));
                   alltypes = (alltypes + ("Programmer: "
                               + (todo.Programmer + "<br>")));
                   alltypes = (alltypes + ("Date: "
                               + (todo.LogDate + "<br>")));
                   alltypes = (alltypes + ("Comments: "
                               + (todo.Comment + "</p>")));
               }
           }
       }
       this.lblLabel.Text = alltypes;
   }

Anyone have any ideas why I can't decorate the partial class in aspx
pages?

To advertise my ignorance, how would I go about do that? If I have a
pre-existing project, can I switch over or do i have to create a new
web app project? I guess I don't understand the difference between a
web app project and a website project. Switching over from Python,
still getting my bearings :)
