Casting

[Guest]

Hello all,

I have an object of type B that inherits from an object of type A.

I create a new instace of B, but I need to cast/convert it to an object of
type A in order to call a particular method. I've tried all sorts of ways to
cast it as A but it always stays as an object of type B. The below is an
example of the code I've tried:

A a = B.Create();
A a = b as A;

No matter what I do, it always stays as B!!

Can anyone offer any help?

Thanks,

Jon

Actually it is base.MethodName if you want to call parent class's method in
derived class.you will find following link useful:

Hi,

the method in A is virtual and overridden in B, but i need to call the A
method. How?

If you want to call method present in A,then dont make it virtual instead
make it protected then it will be available in B class also

When calling a virtual method you are always calling the method of the
actual class. If you don't want it that way, then you shouldn't make it
virtual.
