override a method on a subclass in csharp

To override a method on a subclass in C#, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a subclass that inherits from the base class.
  2. Declare the method that you want to override in the subclass using the override keyword.
  3. Implement the method in the subclass using the same method signature as the base class.
  4. Call the base class method from the overridden method if necessary, using the base keyword.

Here is an example code block that demonstrates how to override a method in C#:

main.cs
public class MyBaseClass
{
    public virtual void MyMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("MyBaseClass.MyMethod");
    }
}

public class MySubClass : MyBaseClass
{
    public override void MyMethod()
    {
        base.MyMethod(); // calling the base class method
        Console.WriteLine("MySubClass.MyMethod");
    }
}

In this example, we have a base class called MyBaseClass with a virtual method MyMethod. We then create a subclass called MySubClass that inherits from MyBaseClass. We then override the MyMethod method in MySubClass, and call the base class MyMethod using the base keyword before providing the additional functionality specific to MySubClass.
