Answer 1

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Test t = new Test();

            Console.WriteLine(t.FieldName("Title").FieldName());
            Console.WriteLine(t.FieldName("Title").FieldIsPrimaryKey());
        }


    }

    public class Test
    {
        [DatabaseField("titlezzz", true)]
        public string Title
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }


    public class BaseDatabaseFieldAttribute : Attribute
    {
        private readonly string _name;

        public string Name { get { return _name; } }

        public BaseDatabaseFieldAttribute(string name)
        {
            _name = name;
        }
    }
    public class DatabaseFieldAttribute : BaseDatabaseFieldAttribute
    {
        private readonly bool _isPrimaryKey;

        public bool IsPrimaryKey { get { return _isPrimaryKey; } }

        public DatabaseFieldAttribute(string name, bool isPrimaryKey): base(name)
        {
            _isPrimaryKey = isPrimaryKey;
        }
    }

    public static class Helper
    {

        public static PropertyInfo FieldName(this object obj, string propertyName)
        {
            return obj.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
        }

        public static string FieldName(this PropertyInfo property) where T: BaseDatabaseFieldAttribute
        {
            object[] os = property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false);

            if (os != null && os.Length >= 1)
                return (os[0] as T).Name;
            else
                return "N/A";
        }

        public static bool? FieldIsPrimaryKey(this PropertyInfo property) where T : DatabaseFieldAttribute
        {
            object[] os = property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false);

            if (os != null && os.Length >= 1)
                return (os[0] as T).IsPrimaryKey;
            else
                return null;
        }
    }
