When encapsulating a public field in a class that inherits from Attribute, ReSharper does not correct references to the field. public sealed class TestAttribute : Attribute { public string field; } public class Test { [Test(field = "value")] public void DoSomething() { } } Encapsulate field in the TestAttribute class such that field is the private member variable and Field is the public property accessor. Upon completion, the referenced attribute is still [Test(field = "value")].
