Is there something in c# similar to java's @override annotation?

Question

I\'ve used the @Override in java and has come in quite handy. Is there anything similar in c#?

Answer 1

In C#, you must use the override keyword to override functions.

If you use override without a matching virtual or abstract base function, you'll get a compiler error.

If you don't use override, and there is a matching base function, you'll get a compiler warning (unless you add new).
