After some investigation, our initial assumption was correct. If the child class does not override the method, it works as requested. If it’s an override method, the attribute is not present. There are no methods available for getting direct access to the base method from the current method as we’re checking it. All we can access is the parent class, which still means we have to enumerate the methods of that class looking for a match, and then check the attributes on that method. While technically possible, this would add a significant amount of complexity and overhead to the Profiler. I don’t think this is worth implementing at this point.
