Can you override private virtual methods?
c#, virtual
Solution
You can't even declare private virtual methods. The only time it would make any sense at all would be if you had:
public class Outer
{
private virtual void Foo() {}
public class Nested : Outer
{
private override void Foo() {}
}
}
... that's the only scenario in which a type has access to its parent's private members. However, this is still prohibited:
Test.cs(7,31): error CS0621: 'Outer.Nested.Foo()': virtual or abstract members cannot be private Test.cs(3,26): error CS0621: 'Outer.Foo()': virtual or abstract members cannot be private
Problem
I think you can and my colleage thinks you cannot!
