Valid applications of member hiding with the new keyword in c#

Question

I\'ve been using c# since version 1, and have never seen a worthwhile use of member hiding. Do you know of any?

Answer 1

Making the return type more explicit - for example SqlConnection.CreateCommand returns a SqlCommand, not a DbCommand. Actually, it looks like this isn't declared new, but that would be one of the few times I would use this; most times it is evil.

Another use: remove inherited attributes from a member.
