C#: Inheritance Problem with List

Question

Let\'s assume this class in C#:

public class LimitedList : List
{
    private int _maxitems = 500;

    public void Add(T value) /* Adding          


        

Answer 1

Like others have stated, you need to add the new keyword. The reason for this is because in the base class (List) the Add method hasn't been marked with the keyword "virtual" which basically means "overridable". Therefore, it should be marked as "new".
