information to compiler about the behavior of class/assemblies and this
information can be used by the reflection.

How to use Obsolete Attribute
class Program
{
int result = new Calculator().AddTwoNumbers(1,2);
}
public class Calculator
{
[Obsolete("This
method is obsolete, Use new method AddNumbers(List)" )]
public int AddTwoNumbers(int num1, int num2)
{
return num1+num2;
}
//Add a method to add N numbers and it
will obsolute the AddNumbers(int,int)
public int AddNumbers(List<int> numbers)
{
int total = 0;
foreach(var num in numbers)
{
total += num;
}
return total;
}
}
Furthermore, if you want to restrict user
not to use the obsolete method you can pass the second Boolean parameter like
below
[Obsolete("This method is obsolete, Use new
method AddNumbers(List)" ,true)]
