Shadowing

[Bucky]

How do I hide a base class member (a method in this case) so

that only the member of the inherited class can be used, even if

the members are of different types and have different parameters?

 

Take the following example:

 

	public class BaseClass
	{
		public string Moo()
		{
			return "Base class moo!";
		}
	}

	public class InheritedClass : BaseClass
	{

	  public string Moo(string text)
		{
			return "Inherited class moo! - " + text;
		}
	}

 

As you can see, the InheritedClass.Moo() method will overload the

Moo method for that class. But how can I make it so that the

inherited method overrides the base method, even though they

have different parameters? This can be accomplished in VB.NET

with the Shadows modifier, but what is the C# equivalent?

I think

new public string Moo

is what you're looking for.

I looked into the new modifier, but it seems that it can only be

used on a method that hides another method with the same

parameters. In this case, however, the methods have different

parameters, so it won't work.
