Class does not implement inherited abstract member

try versioning

public new bool Authorize(IPrincipal principal, List<string> rightsRequested)
       {
            do something
        }

Right, that would be shadowing, and not overriding.

I tried that, in fact tried this:

1            public new bool Authorize(IPrincipal principal, List<string> rightsRequested)
2            {
3                bool result = false;
4    
5                if (principal == null) throw new System.ArgumentNullException("IPrincipal is null");
6                if (rightsRequested.Count < 1) throw new System.ArgumentNullException("rightsRequested generic string is null");
7    
8                if (rightsRequested.Count == 1)
9                {
10                   dicRights[principal.Identity.Name].Contains(rightsRequested[0]);
11               }
12  
13               return result;
14           }
15  
16           public bool Authorize(IPrincipal principal, string context)
17           {
18               return false;
19           }

but that doesn't work for me, I get errors:

Errors (what am I doing wrong?):

Error 3 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.VAuthorizationProvider' does not implement inherited abstract member 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AuthorizationProvider.Authorize(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal, string)' C:\EntLib3Src\App Blocks\Src\Security\KUVAuthorizationProvider.cs 15 18 Security

Error 2 Warning as Error: 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.VAuthorizationProvider.Authorize(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal, string)' hides inherited member 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AuthorizationProvider.Authorize(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal, string)'. To make the current member override that implementation, add the override keyword. Otherwise add the new keyword.

Error 1 Warning as Error: The member 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.VAuthorizationProvider.Authorize(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal, System.Collections.Generic.List<string>)' does not hide an inherited member. The new keyword is not required.

Ok, I know that I have to satisfy the abstract class by implementing Authorize.  But I want to hide it and use my own Authorize signature (meaning arguments) where I'm passing a generic string and implementing it that way.  So what am I doing wrong here?

That means that you need to override the method with the exact signature.  It doesn't look like you can define your own method using generics for the arguments.
