Polymorphism means having more than one form. For example, if several classes implement an interface, then each of them will implement the interface's members in a way which is suitable for them. Another example of polymorphism is overriding virtual or abstract members inherited from a base class. Each derived class can have its own implementation of such members. I'd also check our recommended articles in the sidebar to the right for some code examples.

HI Sonakshi, Normal 0 Polymorphism : It is a feature that allows one interface to be used for general class of actions. The specific action is determined by the exact nature of the situation. In general polymorphism means "one interface, multiple methods", This means that it is possible to design a generic interface to a group of related activities. This helps reduce complexity by allowing the same interface to be used to specify a general class of action. It is the compiler's job to select the specific action (that is, method) as it applies to each situation. Refer http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorials/lesson09.aspx Thanks
