I have a base class with a property which has a setter method. Is there a way to invoke the setter in the base class from a derived class and add some more functionality to it just like we do with overriden methods using the base keyword.
Sorry I should have added an example. Here is an example. Hope I get it right:
public class A
{
public abstract void AProperty
{
set
{
// doing something here
}
}
}
public class B : A
{
public override void AProperty
{
set
{
// how to invoke the base class setter here
// then add some more stuff here
}
}
}
EDIT: the revised example should demostrate the order of invocations. Compile as a console application.
class baseTest
{
private string _t = string.Empty;
public virtual string t {
get{return _t;}
set
{
Console.WriteLine("I'm in base");
_t=value;
}
}
}
class derived : baseTest
{
public override string t {
get { return base.t; }
set
{
Console.WriteLine("I'm in derived");
base.t = value; // this assignment is invoking the base setter
}
}
}
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var tst2 = new derived();
tst2.t ="d";
// OUTPUT:
// I'm in derived
// I'm in base
}
}
