Accessing the Base Class Instance of an Overridden Property

4 New Member
I am wondering if it is possible to access the underlying property of a base class within a derived that has overridden that property. I am using VB.NET and when I use the MyBase keyword to access the property of the base class, it accesses the overridden property instead.

Specifically, my class is inheriting the TextBox class and I am overriding the Text property to have it display something different based on the state of my class. I was hoping that when I use MyBase.Text within a private method in my class that it would bypass my overridden Text property and access the Text property of the base class directly, but it does not.

I know that I can shadow the property instead, but if I pass my class around as an instance of the base class elsewhere in my program, I don’t want it to be accessing the base class property directly. Is there any way I can get around this problem?

I believe the base values can only be accessed from withen the overridden section.

I am trying to write an inheritance function, so I can call a base classes method that has been overridden in the derived class. I want to get rid of the ugly 'call()' syntax that would be used. Ideally I would like to call the method using syntax such as: object.base.method() The idea is to use an object ('base') to provide the base classes properties and proxy methods to the real methods stored in '_class' - see the function below....

I have a Microsoft UI Process Application Block that is controlling child forms in an MDI parent container. The views node in the app.config file has been set to stayOpen=false.

In order for this to happen, I have implemented the IMessageFilter interface to intercept messages in the...

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,...
