how to assign an attribute to an inherited field from base class

[Florian Paulus]

Hi group,

i'm wondering how to assign an attribute to a field that a class
inherited from a base class.

Say base class has a field protected string message, so in the derived
class i want to assign an attribute to it, i don't know how.

i don't want to override the base class field, just add an attribute.
and i can't add it in the base class cause the different subclasses use
different attributes for the same field.

a quick answer is greatly appreciated

cheers

Florian

you can't, the field definition belongs to the base. if it was a property you
could override it, add an attribute and return the base value.
