C# Base
C# provides a base keyword to access base class properties in the chilled class. C# Base is almost similar to the super in java. It can only be used inside instance methods and constructors. It can't be used inside any static method like main.
C# Base class example: accessing parent's class fields
using System;
public class Animal
{
public string color="White";
}
public class Dog : Animal
{
string color="Black";
public void showColor()
{
Console.WriteLine("parent class color :"+base.color);
Console.WriteLine("child class color :"+color);
}
}
public class BaseClassExample
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dog d=new Dog();
d.showColor();
}
}
Output
parent class color :White child class color :BlackC# Base Example: calling Parent class methods
using System;
public class Animal
{
public void eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("eating normal food...");
}
}
public class Dog: Animal
{
public void eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("eating Bread");
base.eat();
}
}
public class BaseClassExample
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dog d=new Dog();
d.eat();
}
}
Output
eating Bread eating normal food...
