How to: Override Type Members
In Class Designer, you can allow members such as methods and properties in a child class to override members inherited from a base class. Overriding a member is possible only if the following circumstance applies:
- The base method being overridden must be virtual, abstract, or override. (It cannot be non-virtual or static.)
To override a member
On the class diagram, right-click a class shape, and choose Intellisense then OverrideMembers.
A dialog box displaying overridable members appears.
From the list, choose a member.
A member with the same name, access modifier, return value, and signature appears as selected in the class, and its Override property is set to True.
