PluginSupportInfo question

I'm confused by something. If I define a PluginSupportInfoClass the following way, the effect's Tooltip has all the correct information:

 

Define a base class as:

 public class PluginSupportInfoBase : IPluginSupportInfo
    {
        public string Author
        {
            get { return ((AssemblyCopyrightAttribute)base.GetType().Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCopyrightAttribute), false)[0]).Copyright; }
        }

        public string Copyright
        {
            get
            {
                return ((AssemblyDescriptionAttribute)base.GetType().Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyDescriptionAttribute), false)[0]).Description;
            }
        }

        public string DisplayName
        {
            get
            {
                return ((AssemblyProductAttribute)base.GetType().Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyProductAttribute), false)[0]).Product;
            }
        }

        public Version Version
        {
            get
            {
                return base.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version;
            }
        }

        public Uri WebsiteUri
        {
            get
            {
                return new Uri("http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/BaseClass/");
            }
        }
    }

Then define a derived class as:

 public class PluginSupportInfo : PluginSupportInfoBase, IPluginSupportInfo
 {
 }

 

If I add a do-nothing, no-argument constructor call to the derived class, as follows, the Tooltip no longer contains the plugin information.

 public class PluginSupportInfo : PluginSupportInfoBase, IPluginSupportInfo
 {
     PluginSupportInfo() : base()
     {         
     }
 }

For anyone with a firm understating of constructors (i.e., not me), it's probably obvious, but I don't see why the first works and the second doesn't.

 

(I intend to pass arguments in the base constructor eventually, but I wanted to test the simplest case first.)
