Thank you for you reply.
It is the first bit of news that I have found that explains why the custom
attribute does NOT
get called declaratively.

I guess that the documentation on "Adding Declarative Security Support" is
then incomplete
because it does not state that the CustomPermissionSecurityAttribute must be
derived
from the CodeAccessSecurityAttribute to have the compiler find and work with
it.

Thanks for your help.

Doug.
