This is a very quick Tech-Tips..! Actually Shadowing is VB.Net concept, in C# this concept called hiding! We will see this chapter later. :)
Shadowing : Creating an entirely new method with the same signature as one in a base class.
Overriding: Redefining an existing method on a base class.
- Both are used when a derived class inherits from a base class
- Both redefine one or more of the base class elements in the derived class
If you want to read more regarding this, just follow this MSDN topic.
class A
{
public int M1()
{
return 1;
}
public virtual int M2()
{
return 1;
}
}
class B : A
{
public new int M1()
{
return 2;
}
public override int M2()
{
return 2;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
B b = new B();
A a = (A)b;
Console.WriteLine(a.M1()); //Base Method
Console.WriteLine(a.M2()); //Override Method
Console.WriteLine(b.M1());
Console.WriteLine(b.M2());
Console.Read();
}
}
The output is : 1, 2, 2, 2
