protected attributes / retrieving

[ViperDK \(Daniel K.\)]

I want to make my own attributes that should only be used in derived classes
so the base class can get some metadata of fields in derived classes. for
that reason i try to define a new attribute class in my base class and use
it in the derived classes...

so far so good but when i want to retrieve the attributes with
Type.GetCustomAttributes it doesn't work until i make the attribute class
public. Is there another way to access attributes or are protected
attributes just a thing you can apply for fun but never read out?

thx in advance,
ViperDK
