Well its simple here you have my vb.net code:
Public Class Class1
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Name() As String
Get
Return Nothing
End Get
End Property
End Class
Public Class Class2
Inherits Class1
Public Overloads ReadOnly Property Name() As String
Get
Return "Class2"
End Get
End Property
End Class
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim c2 As New Class2()
Console.WriteLine(c2.Name)
Dim c1 As Class1 = CType(c2, Class1)
Console.WriteLine(c1.Name)
End Sub
End Module
And here comes the c# code:
class Class1
{
public virtual string Name
{
get
{
return null;
}
}
}
class Class2 : Class1
{
public override string Name
{
get
{
return "Class2";
}
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Class2 c2 = new Class2();
Console.WriteLine(c2.Name);
Class1 c1 = (Class1)c2;
Console.WriteLine(c1.Name);
}
}
i did expekt them to do the same thing but guess what thay dont! C# Output
Class2
Class2
VB.NET output
Class2
{Nothing}
(It dosent print nothing it just prints an empty line) Why does vb.net go for the base class implementation when its overriden?
