Attribute on property not found

[MyAttribute("x")]
public string Z{get;set;}

[MyAttribute("x")]
public void Y()
{

}

It finds the attr on the method just fine, but the one on the property isn't recognized.

public static bool HasAttribute(this MethodInfo m, Type attrType)
{
    return Attribute.IsDefined(m, attrType);
}

I looked at the object during debugging and at the method it correctly lists the Attribute at CustomAttributes, but the one on the property is empty... can anyone explain?

You defined the attribute on the property, not on the property accessors. To provide the attribute on the getter, you would use this syntax (I included all 3 possible locations, you can choose to add the attribute on any combination depending on its applicability).

[MyAttribute("on PropertyInfo")]
public string Z
{
    [MyAttribute("on getter MethodInfo")] get;
    [MyAttribute("on setter MethodInfo")] set;
}
