You can write an unmanaged profiler that adds the attribute at load time. Have a look
at Profiling.doc and Metadata Unmanaged.doc/Assembly Metadata Unmanaged.doc in your
FrameworkSDK\Tool Developers Guide\Docs folder.
You will have to:
Write a COM component implementing ICorProfilerCallback
Intercept the ModuleLoadFinished or ClassLoadFinished events
Get the IMetaDataAssemblyEmit and IMetaDataEmit interfaces for the module you want to
manipulate
Add a MemberRef to the attribute's constructor (and probably an AssemblyRef and
TypeRef as well)
Finally add the custom attribute
This is just a rough outline, so be sure to read the documents I mentioned.

Betreff: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Adding a custom attribute to a type
Hello,
I have an assembly containing a Type and I need to add an attribute to a
method of that type at run-time. I tryied to look inside
System.Reflection.Emit but I didn't found the way of adding the custom
attribute of an already created type.
Someone suggested that there are some unmanaged APIs to do that but I didn't
found any document talking about them.
Thanks for any help,
Pierre
