| Child | base Child |
So what’s the matter:
Virtual keyword makes the method on the base type prone (عرضة) to any derived ones override it by writing override keyword before it
So when calling it from the parent object, parent object looks for if any overrides exists to implement it and eliminates the current virtual method code
But the new keyword make a new version from the method actually it’s a new one at all;
So when calling it on the parent object, although it was initialized by a child one, but now this method (public new void SomeOtherMethod()) is another one totally so the parent object implements its own method
End of the story;
