Base form's properties gets changed by the inheriting form...

Hi,

I have a base form (FormBase), which defines things like the value of the
WindowState. Other forms inherit from this base form to reflect the layout
given in the base form.

Is there a way to prohibit the inheriting form to change the value of the
WindowState property?

Appreciate any input/approach.

thanks!

Yasutaka,

Try overwriting the property with "ReadOnly Shadows" property (VB.NET
syntax). Set the property itself after InitializeCompo nent().

Hello, I am having a really annoying problem. I have a base form, say FormA, and this form has some buttons on it with images (which are stored in the resx file). I then have FormB, which inherits from FormA. FormB for some odd <and stupid> reason, FormB desides to rewrite all the designer generated code for the inherited controls. It also puts the images that FormA has in it's resx into it's own resx <very annoying>. I have MANY forms...

I'm using inheritance more than I used to, and I find myself calling a lot of base class methods. I generally call a base method from a dreived class like this: this.MyMethod(); I'm finding it somewhat confusing when I look at the code later, because I expect to find a method called MyMethod() in the derived class. I think C# would let me call a base class method from a derived class like

I am using CodeDOM to generate source files. The classes being generated have a const string member. This member is referenced in an abstract base class but declared in the inheriting class. I can't declare the string in the abstract class because it would require initialization. Is there a way to require that any class inheriting from the base class contain this string without a specific declaration in the base class? I tried putting a...

Hi guys/gals, I'm using VS.net 2003 and having trouble with the following: I am trying to inherit a base class into a web form, but VS will then not allow me to add any ASP.NET controls using the designer. The base class does derive from System.Web.UI.Page. Here's a code snippet:

I have a base class - ComponentBase - that inherits from UserControl. My class implements IComponentBase, which defines a minimal set of core properties and methods. All my other components inherit from ComponentBase. I have defined IComponentBase in a common assembly so that my other projects reference this rather than the (large) library that contains the component implementation.

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

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,...
