More info, I found the following in csharp-mode.el that looks to be
what I need to change:

(defconst c-Csharp-attrib-key (concat "\[" c-symbol-key "\\(([^)]*)\\)?\]"))

(defconst c-Csharp-class-key
  (concat
   c-Csharp-attrib-key
  "\\(?:" 
   "\\("
   "new\\|"
   "public\\|"
   "protected\\|"
   "internal\\|"
   "private\\|"
   "abstract\\|"
   "sealed"
   "\\)"
   "\\s +\\)*"
   "\\(struct\\|class\\)\\s +"
   c-symbol-key                         ;name of the class
   "\\(\\s *:\\s *" c-symbol-key        ;maybe followed by parent
   "\\(\\s *,\\s *" c-symbol-key "\\)*"
   "\\)?"
   ))

I'm guessing I just need to change the regex for c-Csharp-attrib-key
to be able to handle recognize:

[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("6674C3CF-1118-40f2-B7F2-CBA3D863082C")]

But all my attempts so far have not been successful. If any regex
gurus out there can help it would be appreciated.

Or is the completely wrong place to be doing this?
