Method Overriding

Method Overriding:
Whereas Overridingmeans changing the functionality of a method without changing the signature. We can override a function in base class by creating a similar function in derived class. This is done by using virtual/override keywords.
Base class method has to be marked with virtual keyword and we can override it in derived class using override keyword.
Derived class method will completely overrides base class method i.e. when we refer base class object created by casting derived class object a method in derived class will be called.

Example:

// Base class
public class BaseClass
{
public virtual void Method1()
{
Console.Write(“Base Class Method”);
}
}
// Derived class
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public override void Method1()
{
Console.Write(“Derived Class Method”);
}
}
// Using base and derived class
public class Sample
{
public void TestMethod()
{
// calling the overriden method
DerivedClass objDC = new DerivedClass();
objDC.Method1();
// calling the baesd class method
BaseClass objBC = (BaseClass)objDC;
objDC.Method1();
}
}
