Attributes and Inherited Methods

[Rajaat]

I want to apply an attribute to an inherited method and I'm wondering if there's a way to do that without needing to implement the method again in the derived class...

Here's an example of how I need to do it:

namespace X
{
    public class Base
    {
        public void MethodA()
        {
            // implementation
        }
    }

    public class Derived : Base
    {
        [AttributeToApply]
        public new void MethodA()
        {
            base.MethodA();
        }
    }
}

I would like to avoid providing a new implementation for MethodA() but somehow apply the attribute in the derived class.... I know if I apply the attribute in the base class then the derived class will inherit the attribute but I want to give the derived class the ability to decide who should get the attribute.

Any ideas?

I don't think it's possible.
