// Retrieve an attribute defined on an entity
Console.WriteLine(entityDef.Attributes.Default["MyAttribute"]);

Iterate through the attributes on a field

if (fieldDef.Attributes != null && fieldDef.Attributes.Count > 0)
{
  foreach (XmlSerializableStringDictionary.XmlSerializableStringDictionaryItem attributeItem
in fieldDef.Attributes.Default)
   {
      Console.WriteLine(attributeItem.Key + ":" + attributeItem.Value);
   }
}
