How to call a Base class function from a Derived class ? 1

[bledazemi]

Hi everyone,

This is probably a very simple question. I just can't seem to find the answer on the documentation of C#.

I have the two classes, a base class and a derived class which inherits from the base class. The base class has a Start method. The Derived class overrides this Start method because it needs to do slightly different things on Start in addition to what the base class Start method does.

My problem is that i cant seem to find out how to call the inherited Start method from the derived class. I hope someone here can help me.

Perhaps the sample below clarifies a little more my problem.

class MyBaseClass
{
   public virtual void Start()
   {
      //Does something ... 
   }
}

class MyDerivedClass:MyBaseClass
{
   public override void Start()
   {
       
       [!]//Here i would like to call MyBaseClass.Start[/!]
      
       //Some more functionality follows here
   }
}

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me with this little issue.

Instead of someone telling you how, how about a link to investigating it on your own and learning more.

Thanks IT4EVR

Nice tutorial link. It was very helpful for me. The keyword I needed was base.

Thank you
