Method Overriding is a technique that allows the use of any functions from another class (base class) in the derived class. Creating a method in the derived class with the same signature as a method in the base class is called method overriding. This is like a virtual method.

```
using System;
  class baseClass
{
 public virtual void show()
   {
        Console.WriteLine("Base class");
    }
}

class derived : baseClass
{
public override void show()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Derived class");
      }
}

class GFG
{
public static void Main()
    {
       baseClass obj;
obj = new baseClass();
obj.show();
obj = new derived();
obj.show();
     }
}
```
