Override a virtual method in a partial class

Question

I am currently working with the nopCommerce source code and trying my best to avoid editing the source at all, but instead using partial classes and plugins that are separat

Answer 1

You can't do that. What partial basically does is tell the C# compiler to join the two bits of code together.

A bit of a hacky solution is to finish off the class, and then inherit from that and override the methods you want, e.g. here's a simple example:

public partial class A
{
    public virtual void X() { }
}
public partial class A
{
    public void Y() { }
}
public class B : A
{
    public override void X() { }
}
