Code Inspection: Base type is required

Category	Constraints Violations
ID	`RequiredBaseTypesIsNotInherited`

Default severity	Warning
Language	C#
Requires SWA	No

One of the ReSharper annotation attributes is the BaseTypeRequired attribute, which ensures that classes marked with this attribute derive from a specific class. Consider the snippet below:

[BaseTypeRequired(typeof(Soldier))]
class FriendlyAttribute : Attribute
{

}
class Soldier
{

}
[Friendly]
class Marine
{

}
    

In this snippet, the Marine class will generate a warning because the Friendly attribute it’s tagged with expects the class to be derived from Soldier. The following change fixes the problem:

[Friendly]
class Marine : Soldier
{

}
