{
    [Author(\"         


        

Answer 1

To get all attributes of a property in a dictionary use this:

typeof(Book)
  .GetProperty("Name")
  .GetCustomAttributes(false) 
  .ToDictionary(a => a.GetType().Name, a => a);

remember to change from false to true if you want to include inheritted attributes as well.
