Overriding Virtual Members Using Visual Studio 2008

As you may have already noticed, when you are overriding a member, you must recall the type of

each and every parameter—not to mention the method name and parameter passing conventions

(ref, params, etc.). Visual Studio 2008 has a very helpful feature that you can make use of when over-

riding a virtual member. If you type the word “override” within the scope of a class type, IntelliSense

will automatically display a list of all the overridable members defined in your parent classes, as you

see in Figure 6-7.

Quickly viewing overridable methods à la Visual Studio 2008

When you select a member and hit the Enter key, the IDE responds by automatically filling in

the method stub on your behalf. Note that you also receive a code statement that calls your parent’s

version of the virtual member (you are free to delete this line if it is not required):

public override void DisplayStats()

{

base.DisplayStats();

}
