Is there a way to only add code to a method without overriding it completely in c#?

Is there any way to only add code to a method from a subclass without overriding it completely like the "override" + "virtual" does in c#. I find myself writing some duplicate code in my override methods. And not sure what to do about it

Hello Kate!

You can use override and virtual with a different mechanism. For example,

class MyBase 
    { 
        private int MyVar; 
        public virtual void DoStuff(int i , int j) 
        { 
            MyVar = i + j; //This is your common code which is added in base class 

        } 
    } 
     class OverridClass : MyBase 
    { 
        private int MyNewCount; 
        public override void DoStuff(int i, int j) 
        { 
            MyNewCount = i + j; 
            base.DoStuff(i, j); //This is how you reuse your common code and write the code which is more specific to this method 
         } 
    }
