C# Can a base class property be invoked from derived class

Question

I have a base class with a property which has a setter method. Is there a way to invoke the setter in the base class from a derived class and add some more functionality to it j

Answer 1

EDIT: the revised example should demostrate the order of invocations. Compile as a console application.

class baseTest 
{
    private string _t = string.Empty;
    public virtual string t {
        get{return _t;}
        set
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I'm in base");
            _t=value;
        }
    }
}

class derived : baseTest
{
    public override string t {
        get { return base.t; }
        set 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I'm in derived");
            base.t = value;  // this assignment is invoking the base setter
        }
    }
}

class Program
{

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var tst2 = new derived();
        tst2.t ="d"; 
        // OUTPUT:
        // I'm in derived
        // I'm in base
    }
}
