Neil, try to make it not Hidden, but Protected.
"Hacker's Guide" says:
Hidden properties and methods are even more protected than protected ones. Not only can't other objects see them, even subclasses can't see them. Unfortunately, hidden properties and methods can't even be used by methods that are themselves called via :: or DoDefault(). This means that hidden is pretty much useless.
