Hello - I will have another look at this, but what I think is happening is
that the compiler is ignoring your @module directive as just a comment.  
That is why I would suggest you confirm the existence of the attribute in
the metadata.  If it is not there, the compiler has skipped it.  What is
confusing about this is that this directive shows up in the IntelliSense,
and I am asking about that ... but, there is no documentation about support
for this directive and it is not included in the docs for other like-kind
directives ...

The module level attribute is defined in the same code itself .The whole
code is

//Define a module-level attribute.
/** @module ReflectionModule_Examples.MySimpleAttribute("module-level")
* */
class MyMainClass
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Module moduleArray[];
        moduleArray = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules(false);
        // In a simple project with only one module, the module at index
        // 0 will be the module containing these classes.
        Module myModule = (Module)moduleArray.get_Item(0);
        Object attributes[];
        attributes = myModule.GetCustomAttributes(true);
        for (int i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++)
        {
            Object o = attributes[i];
            Console.WriteLine("Found this attribute on myModule: {0}.",
o.toString());
        }
    } //Main
} //MyMainClass

//A very simple custom attribute.
/** @attribute AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class |
AttributeTargets.Module)
   * */
public class MySimpleAttribute extends Attribute
{
    private String name;
    public MySimpleAttribute(String newName)
    {
        name = newName;
    } //MySimpleAttribute
} //MySimpleAttribute  
// </snippet1>

But still i am not getting the custom attributes.

Thanks,
