Force calling the base method from outside a derived class

Question

I have two classes:

public class MyBase
{
    public virtual void DoMe()
    {

    }
}

public class MyDerived:MyBase
{
    public override void DoMe()
             


        

Answer 1

This question is so old but I don't see the following option:

You can use the 'new' keyword to specify overlapping methods. Then you would simply cast to the class whose method you wish to call.

    public class MyBase
    {
        public virtual void DoMe()
        {

        }
    }

    public class MyDerived:MyBase
    {
//note the use of 'new' and not 'override'
        public new void DoMe()
        {
            throw  new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

Implementation

var myDerived = new MyDerived();
var derivedDoMe = myDerived.DoMe();
var baseDoMe = ((MyBase)myDerived).DoMe();
