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

c#

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

         }

    }
