Hiding a static method in a derived class

Hello:
I'm preparing a multitier application, and in the Data Layer I have a
EmployeeReposit oryBase class that has a protected static method called
Fill() and some GetAll() overloaded protected static methods. All GetAll()
static methods call the same Fill() in the base class.

When I want to make a new derived class EmployeeReposit ory from
EmployeeReposit oryBase, if I want to improve Fill() static method hiding it
with protected static new Fill() I must to rewrite all GetAll() overloaded
methods in the derived class.

If not, when I call to the GetAll() method in the derived class, it uses the
GetAll() method in the base class that uses the Fill() method in the base
class instead of the Fill() method in the derived class.

Is there any way to hide only the Fill() method, and all the static methods
in the base class call to the Fill() method of the derived class?

Thanks in advance

No. C# (and .NET in general AFAIK) does not support polymorphism with
regards to static members. You must change the original Fill() to a
virtual instance method so that you can override it.

Hi, I know that it is illegal in C++ to have a static pure virtual method, but it seems something like this would be useful when the following 2 conditions hold: 1. You know that every one of your Derived classes will need to implement some method, but implement it differently, and that the base class cannot implement it. This is where pure virtual comes in.

Just want to see if this is 'by design' or a bug... I have a common List<T> defined in a base class, and the base class has a static property to expose this list. I wanted the derived class to add items to this list, but have the base class hold the data and expose the property. Problem is, however, that the derived class' static constructor doesn't get called when DerivedClass.MyList is accessed, so the list has no members. If

I have a need to make a set of classes that all share the same public methods, some implementation and some data. So, I made an abstract base (BaseClass) with an interface (IBaseClass) and a handful of inherited classes. The static method calls the ctor of the appropriate inherited class and returns it as type IBaseClass. There are no new methods or properties in the inherited classes and public clients never need to know which...

I have a class named myclass that inheirits from "baseclass". There is a property of "baseclass" that I don't want exposed in the IDE. The MSDN documentation says" "A derived type can hide an inherited member by defining a new member with the same signature. This might be done to make a previously public member private or to define new behavior for an inherited method that is marked as final. " However, this does not hide the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
