Hide a base class method in a generic derived class

Question

I have a base class like this:

class FooBase
{
    public bool Do(int p) { /* Return stuff. */ }
}

And a child class like this:

<         


        

Answer 1

You could build a base class that is abstract with a protected Do method, and rewrite your current FooBase class to inherit from Foo:

public abstract class FooBaseAbstract
{
    protected bool Do(int p)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// You can use this one just as your current FooBase class
public class FooBase : Foo
{
}

public class Foo : FooBaseAbstract
{
    public bool Do(T p)
    {
        if (true /* some test here */)
        {
            return base.Do(4);
        }

        return false;
    }
}

(of course change the class names)
