Are attributes inherited?

[David Laub]

If I have the following code

[MyAttr]
class XYZ
{
}

class InheritXYZ : XYZ
{
}

Is the [MyAttr] attribute defined for class XYZ automatically also defined
for class InheritXYZ (because InheritXYZ is inherited from XYZ)

class InheritXYZ : XYZ

Depends on the Attribute class. Some attributes aren't inherited.
