'TypeDescriptor' for Methods - Does it exist?

Question

Hi,

I am wondering if there exists a built in class which provides a functionality similar to that of TypeDescriptor, except for method reflection rather than property.

I require this to dynamically create a context menu based on flagged methods within an object

e.g.

    [ContextMenuItem(true)]
    [DisplayName("Do Something")]
    public override void DoSomthing()
    {
        ...
    }

I'm starting to build one myself as I haven't found one anywhere, but it always pays to ask :)

You could use the DescriptionAttribute and always look a for a particular string?

[Description("SPECIAL")]
void Doit(){}

But it's pretty easy to create your attribute type and then reflect for it, this way you can type your own parameters on to it.
