Essentially attributes are a means of decorating code with various properties at compile time. This can be passive, such as marking a class as Serializable with the SerializableAttribute, or it can take a more active role, such as the MarshalAsAttribute which tells the runtime how to pass data between managed and unmanaged code. All the code in the CA.Common.Attributes uses this .NET feature to decorate the code then provide some basic functionally based on that decoration
