calling base method using new keyword
c#, keyword, methods, new-operator
Solution
you need 'base' if you really need to call the base class's method. `base.Method();` is the correct way.

Problem
in this link, they have this code: ``` public class Base { public virtual void Method(){} } public class Derived : Base { public new void Method(){} } ``` and then called like this: ``` Base b = new Derived(); b.Method(); ``` my actual code is this: ``` public class Base { public void Method() { // bla bla bla } } public class Derived : Base { public new void Method() { base.Method(); } } ``` is it necessary to call with `base.Method();` ? or just leave the method in derived class blank ?
