Override an overridden method (C#)

Question

I\'m trying to override an overridden method (if that makes sense!) in C#.

I have a scenario similar to the below, but when I have a breakpoint in the SampleMethod() in

Answer 1

The breakpoint is more than likely not being hit because you actually instantiated an instance of the "B" class.

Method override resolution works based on the actual runtime type of the class whose method should be called. So, if you had the following code:

C c = new C();
c.SampleMethod();

and the following:

C c = new C();
B b = (B)c;
b.SampleMethod();

both the runtime types of the class whose SampleMethod will be called is type B.
