## Retrieving Multiple Instances of an Attribute Applied to the Same Scope

In the preceding example, the class to inspect and the specific attribute to find are passed to the <xref:System.Attribute.GetCustomAttribute%2A> method. That code works well if only one instance of an attribute is applied on the class level. However, if multiple instances of an attribute are applied on the same class level, the `GetCustomAttribute` method doesn't retrieve all the information. In cases where multiple instances of the same attribute are applied to the same scope, you can use <xref:System.Attribute.GetCustomAttributes%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to place all instances of an attribute into an array. For example, if two instances of `DeveloperAttribute` are applied on the class level of the same class, the `GetAttribute` method can be modified to display the information found in both attributes. Remember, to apply multiple attributes on the same level. The attribute must be defined with the `AllowMultiple` property set to `true` in the <xref:System.AttributeUsageAttribute> class.

The following code example shows how to use the `GetCustomAttributes` method to create an array that references all instances of `DeveloperAttribute` in any given class. The code then outputs the values of all the attributes to the console.
