How to add attributes to a base class's properties

Question

I have a couple model classes like so:

public class MyModelBase
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class MyModel : MyModelBase
{
    public str         


        

Answer 1

I note that none of these answers actually call the base Name property correctly. The override should write something like the following, in order that you don't have a separate value for the new property.

public class MyModelBase
{
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}

public class MyModel : MyModelBase
{
    [Required]
    public override string Name { get { return base.Name; } set { base.Name = value; }

    public string SomeOtherProperty { get; set; }
}
