Dear Satips, I know very well what inheritance is. Here my problem class A has a method Method1 and Class B inherits class A and Class C inherits class B where Class C overides the Method1 and class D inherits class C. know when i call Methodi from class D the Method1 of class C will be called. but i want to call the Method1 of class A. We can use super keyword in C++. is there any thing in C# that helps us to acheive this? got this time you got it? thanks in advance

Hello, I think you have to do a little trick here. In class C you need a additional method, which calls the base.Method (method from class A).

	public override void MethodFromA()
	{
                 //Class C stuff
	}

	public void BaseMethodFromA()
	{
		base.MethodFromA();
	}

In class D you have to override the base method again and call the additional method in class C.

	public override void MethodFromA()
	{
		BaseMethodFromA();
	}

Maybe there is some cleaner solution, which I'm not aware of, but I think it will work! All the best, Martin

No, not once the method has been hidden (with override or new).
