When should you call base.Method() in overridden method, and how to mark this when you write code in team?

Question

When using some framework/api, sometimes it\'s pretty unclear if you must call base.Method if you override it, for example you can be pretty sure that you should call base.M

Answer 1

Nowadays I don't think that consumers of a class that override a method should ever need to call base.Method(). The code should be written in such way that it cannot be broken.

public class MyBase
{
    private void FooInternal()
    {
        DoRequiredStuff();
        Foo();
    }
    public virtual void Foo() {}
}
