Override a Property with a Derived Type and Same Name C#

Question

I\'m trying to override a property in a base class with a different, but derived type with the same name. I think its possible by covarience or generics but am not sure how

Answer 1

Not sure about Generics, but you could achieve a limited effect with simple Polymorphism (assuming SunData inherits from Data etc)

public class Sun : OuterSpace 
{
  void SomeInitializationMethod()
  {
    Data = new SunData();
    Analysis = new SunAnalysis(); // etc
  }

    }

// You could also make casting simpler with a generic method on the base
public T GetData()
{
  if (Data is T)
  {
    return Data as T;
  }
  return null;
};
