How do I get the WebMethodAttribute from within a webmethod?

[Doug]

I need the description out of the WebMethodAttribute on my web method. I
want to be able to throw my own exception and tell it what method threw the
exception...I am totally at a loss for how to "create" a webmethodattribute
class?

Here is my code...

<WebMethod(Description:="my bad webmethod")> _
Public Function MyBadWebmethod() as string
try
throw new MyAppException("something went wrong")
catch ex as MyAppException
dim wma as WebMethodAttribute

' How do I get a reference to this methods WebMethodAttribute
class?
dim sdesc as string

dim soapex as new soapexception(......
End Function

thanks
Doug

Use reflection. Just use the GetCustomAttributes() method of the MethodInfo
class for this.
