Overriding vs. New

I don't get it. What's the main differences between overriding a base
class's methods vs. hiding them?
Thanks,

Oops, sorry.

Just shows that it should be an error.

If you miss off override, you only get a warning, not an error, and you
get the behaviour as if you had put override (presuming the signatures
match).


No you don't - you get the behaviour as if you had put new (which is
why the warning is something like:

Test.cs(33,17): warning CS0114: 'Derived.Baz()' hides inherited member
'Base.Baz()'. To make the current member override that implementation,
add the override keyword. Otherwise add the new keyword.

In Python, you can override the behaviour of most operators for a class, by defining __add__, __gt__, and the other special object methods. I noticed that, although there are special methods for most operators, they are conspicuously absent for the logical "or" and "and". I'm guessing that the reason for this is that these operators short-circuit if their first operand answers the whole question? Would it be possible to allow...

Hi, I have 3 questions regarding the code below: 1) Why can't I trap the KEYDOWN while I can trap KEYUP? 2) Is it correct that I use Return True within the IF-Statement? (I've already read the documentation but it is rather hard to understand so please don't refer to it :) 3) Many examples in the newsgroups use Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m) as the last code line while I have used Return MyBase.ProcessKeyEventArgs(m)

Hello everybody, I'm new to C++ (I have some C background). I've read up on this topic a few times but it just dosen't seem to be sinking in. 1. Whats the difference between overloading and overriding? 2. When is one preferable to use as opposed to the other? 3. How are virtual functions related to this topic (overloading/overriding) - a real world example of using virtual functions would be very much appreciated.

The Object class has five non final methods namely equals, hashCode, toString, clone, and finalize. These were designed to be overridden according to specific general contracts. Other classes that make use of these methods assume that the methods obey these contracts so it is necessary to ensure that if your classes override these methods, they do so correctly. In this article I'll take a look at the equals and hashCode methods. ...
