Difference between this and base [closed]

问题

I am interested to know the difference between this and base object in C#. What is the best practice when using them?

回答1:

this represents the current class instance while base the parent. Example of usage:

public class Parent
{
    public virtual void Foo()
    {
    }
}

public class Child : Parent
{
    // call constructor in the current type
    public Child() : this("abc")
    {
    }

    public Child(string id)
    {
    }

    public override void Foo()
    { 
        // call parent method
        base.Foo();
    }
}

回答2:

The two keywords are very different.

this refers to the current instance (not the “current class”). It can only be used in non-static methods (because in a static method there is no current instance). Calling a method on this will call the method in the same way as it would if you called it on a variable containing the same instance.
base is a keyword that allows inherited method call, i.e. it calls the specified method from the base type. It too can only be used in a non-static method. It is usually used in a virtual method override, but actually can be used to call any method in the base type. It is very different from normal method invocation because it circumvents the normal virtual-method dispatch: it calls the base method directly even if it is virtual.

Darin is right on. An example may also help. (There wasn't an example when I initially posted. Now there is.)

class Base {

    protected virtual void SayHi() {
        Console.WriteLine("Base says hi!");
    }

}

class Derived : Base {

    protected override void SayHi() {
        Console.WriteLine("Derived says hi!");
    }

    public void DoIt() {
        base.SayHi();
        this.SayHi();
    }
}

The above prints "Base says hi!" followed by "Derived says hi!"

回答4:

"this" keyword points to the address of current object. we can use "this" keyword to represent current object (of current class).

Where as "base" keyword represent to "Parent class"
So if you want to use/call function of parent class you can use "base" Keyword.
base is very useful in function overriding to call function of parent class.

回答5:

this refers to any object that is currently being used. Base refers to a base class generally speaking.

If the object is of the base then in that case this can refer to the base object also.

回答6:

lets say you have code like this

class B extends A {

    public B () {
        // this will refer to the current object of class B
        // base will refer to class A
    }

}

Note: The syntax of code is in java but it is self explanatory.

回答7:

base - is used to access members of the base class from within a derived class

this - refers to the current instance of the class and inherited

class BaseClass
{
    public string BaseAttr { get; set; }
}
class A : BaseClass
{
    public string Attr { get; set; }
    public void Method()
    {
        this.Attr = "ok";
        this.BaseAttr = "base ok";
        base.BaseAttr = "ok";
        base.Attr = "unavailable"; //!
    }
}

回答8:

this refers to the current class instance.

base refers to the base class of the current instance, that is, the class from which it is derived. If the current class is not explicitly derived from anything base will refer to the System.Object class (I think).
