Accessing a static property of a child in a parent method

Question

Say I have the following code:

class Parent
{

    static string MyField = \"ParentField\";

    public virtual string DoSomething()
    {
        return MyField         


        

Answer 1

In one response you seem to indicate that the static field is constant. If that is the case, then this should work for you.

class Parent
{
    protected virtual string MyField() { return "ParentField"; }

    public virtual string DoSomething()
    {
        return MyField();
    }
}

class Child : Parent
{
    protected override string MyField() { return "ChildField"; }
}
