base c# code example

Example 1: acess base class in c#

using System;

public class A
{
   private int value = 10;

   public class B : A
   {
       public int GetValue()
       {
           return this.value;
       }
   }
}

public class C : A
{
//    public int GetValue()
//    {
//        return this.value;
//    }
}

public class Example
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var b = new A.B();
        Console.WriteLine(b.GetValue());
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       10

Example 2: list of 2 different inherent classes c#

// a Pseudo-example using interfaces. <--- Worked great for me!

public interface IPrinter
{
   void Send();
   string Name { get; }
}

public class PrinterType1 : IPrinter
{
  public void Send() { /* send logic here */ }
  public string Name { get { return "PrinterType1"; } }
}

public class PrinterType2 : IPrinter
{
  public void Send() { /* send logic here */ }
  public string Name { get { return "Printertype2"; } }

  public string IP { get { return "10.1.1.1"; } }
}


// ...
// then to use it
var printers = new List<IPrinter>();

printers.Add(new PrinterType1());
printers.Add(new PrinterType2());

foreach(var p in printers)
{
  p.Send();

  var p2 = p as PrinterType2;

  if(p2 != null) // it's a PrinterType2... cast succeeded
    Console.WriteLine(p2.IP);
}
