Question

I\'m trying to pass A list of DerivedClass to a function that takes a list of BaseClass, but I get the error:

Answer 1

If you could write

List bcl = new List(); 

you could call

var instance = new AnotherClassInheritingFromBaseClass();
bc1.Add(instance);

Adding an instance which is not a DerivedClass to the list.
