How to get metadata custom attributes?
Found a solution by using the type of MetadataTypeAttribute to get the custom attributes.
var type = typeof (T);
var metadataType = type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MetadataTypeAttribute), true)
.OfType<MetadataTypeAttribute>().FirstOrDefault();
var metaData = (metadataType != null)
? ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, metadataType.MetadataClassType)
: ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, type);
var propertMetaData = metaData.Properties
.Where(e =>
{
var attribute = metaData.ModelType.GetProperty(e.PropertyName)
.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(ExportItemAttribute), false)
.FirstOrDefault() as ExportItemAttribute;
return attribute == null || !attribute.Exclude;
})
.ToList();
