  public int i = 0;

  // Show() in A

  public void Show() {

    Console.WriteLine("i in base class: " + i);

  }

}

// Create a derived class.

class B : A {

  new int i; // this i hides the i in A

  public B(int a, int b) {

    base.i = a; // this uncovers the i in A

    i = b; // i in B

  }

  // This hides Show() in A. Notice the use of new.

  new public void Show() {

    base.Show(); // this calls Show() in A

    // this displays the i in B

    Console.WriteLine("i in derived class: " + i);

  }

}

class UncoverName {

  static void Main() {

    B ob = new B(1, 2);

    ob.Show();

  }

}

The output from the program is shown here:

i in base class: 1

i in derived class: 2

As you can see, 

base.Show( )

 calls the base class version of
