Base Class Doesn't Contain Parameterless Constructor?

Question

I\'m making my constructors a bit more strict by removing some of my empty constructors. I\'m pretty new to inheritance, and was perplexed with the error that I got: Base Class

Answer 1

It has to call some constructor. The default is a call to base().

You can also use static methods, literals, and any parameters to the current constructor in calls to base().

  public static class MyStaticClass
    {
        public static int DoIntWork(string i)
        {
            //for example only
            return 0;
        }
    }

    public class A
    {
        public A(int i)
        {
        }
    }

    public class B : A
    {
        public B(string x) : base(MyStaticClass.DoIntWork(x))
        {
        }
    }
