In your example, use Attribute.GetCustomAttributes rather than member.GetCustomAttributes (where member is an MemberInfo, e.g. an EventInfo). For some reason, MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes does not search the inheritance chain correctly even if you specify "true" for the "inherit" parameter. I've yet to find out why this isn't documented in MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes... Instead, it's in the docs for EventInfo: "Calling ICustomAttributeProvider.GetCustomAttributes on EventInfo when the inherit parameter of GetCustomAttributes is true does not walk the type hierarchy. Use System.Attribute to inherit custom attributes."
