How to find ancestor class method definition in Visual Studio

[Jack Addington]

Is there a quick and easy way in Visual Studio 2003 to get the method
declaration from the ancestor so I can override/extend it? I know that if I
am in another method or the constructor and type base. then the popup list
shows all the events/method/properties... I can cut and paste from the
ancestor code but there must be a better way.

thx

I think I found it... I wasn't declaring the method in the base class as
virtual. When I type public override I was given a list of all the classes
available to be overritten..

Btw: you only need to type "override". VS.NET 2003 will add the appropriate access modifier for you when you select the method you want to override.
