How to use the base keyword to call a base class method (not a constructor)

Hello,

I have read that the base keyword can be used not only to control a base
class instantiation (thus calling one of the base class constructors) but
also to access any other public or protected method in the parent class ...
I have search all over for an example of how to do this but have failed.
What I was wondering is about the syntax necessary to make such a call .....
Thx..

Bob, did you check out MSDN? There's an example up there. Is there
something that this sample doesn't cover?

Thank you Greg, I searched on my numerous books and also on the msdn but I
was expecting a diffente syntax that is why I did not find it .... "base"
seems to be used pretty much like "this" but it provides access to the
parent class instead of the instance object.
