Inheritence in C# question - is overriding internal methods possible?
- by Jeff Dahmer
Is it possible to override an internal method's behavior?
using System;
class TestClass
{
public string Name { get { return this.ProtectedMethod(); } }
protected string ProtectedMethod()
{
return InternalMethod();
}
string InternalMethod()
{
return "TestClass::InternalMethod()";
}
}
class OverrideClassProgram : TestClass
{ // try to override the internal method using new? (compiler warning)
new string InternalMethod()
{
return "OverrideClassProgram::InternalMethod()";
}
static int Main(string[] args)
{
// TestClass::InternalMethod()
Console.WriteLine(new TestClass().Name);
// TestClass::InternalMethod() ?? are we just screwed?
Console.WriteLine(new OverrideClassProgram().Name);
return (int)Console.ReadKey().Key;
}
}
