Calling parent class?

[NOSPAM]

I have a question on calling parent class... What I want to do is: when
calling the derived class, it automatically executes the parent's method, is
it possible?

// main code:
Derived d = new Derived();
d.SomeMethod();
public class Base
{
public virtual void SomeMethod() {
Console.WriteLine "A";
}
}

public class Derived : Base
{
public override void SomeMethod() {
// this.parent.SomeMethod();
Console.WriteLine "B";
}
}

Is there a way to call the derived class and then both "A" and "B" will be
printed out?

public class Derived : Base
{
public override void SomeMethod() {
base.SomeMethod(); // note lower case 'b'
Console.WriteLine "B";
}
}

base is a keyword that allows you to invoke a method on your direct base class
