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.
