In C#, A child class that inherits the base class

Question

In C#,

A child class that inherits the base class

While inheriting automatically the public, protected, internal members of the base class, it also inherits those base class's constructor and finalizers?

Vishal Yelve · Answer

In C#, the class which inherits the members of another class is called the derived class and the class whose members are inherited is called the base class. IMP Points Inheritance allows deriving a new class from an existing class. It improves the reusability of code. The existing class is called super, parent, or base class. The new or derived class is known as the child class or subclass. The child class inherits the characteristics of a parent or superclass. It means data members and methods defined in a superclass can be used by a child class. Only public and protected members (data and method) of the superclass can be accessed by the child class. No private member inherits from the child class so they cannot be accessed by the child class. Protected member inherits by child class and only its decedents in the hierarchy. The child has also unique behavior and characteristics. It means the child class has its own data member and methods. C# supports single-level inheritance, multiple inheritances cannot be supported by C#. It can be achieved by the interface.

In inheritance, the derived class inherits all the members(fields, methods) of the base class, but the derived class cannot inherit the constructor of the base class because constructors are not members of the class . Instead of inheriting constructors by the derived class, it is only allowed to invoke the constructor of a base class.

It won't inherit but base class constructor will be called when you create object for child class
