A class can inherit from another class.A class can inherit from only one class.C# supports inheritance by allowing one class to incorporate another class into its declaration.This is done by specifying a base class when a derived class is declared.
using System; namespace CSharpInheritance{ class Time { public byte hour{set; get;} public byte minute{set; get;} public void SetTime(byte hour, byte minute) { this.hour = hour; this.minute = minute; } public void DisplayTime() { Console.Write(hour + ":" + minute); } } class NewTime : Time { public byte second{set; get;} public void SetTime(byte hour, byte minute, byte second) { //this.hour = hour; Error: Cannot Access Private Property Directly //this.minute = minute; Error: Cannot Access Private Property Directly SetTime(hour, minute); this.second = second; } public void DisplayNewTime() { DisplayTime(); Console.Write(":" + second); } } class UsingTime{ static void Main(String[] arg){ Console.WriteLine("Base Time Class"); Time hmt = new Time(); hmt.SetTime(12, 22); Console.Write("Time of HMT: "); hmt.DisplayTime(); Console.WriteLine("\n\nDerived Time Class"); NewTime sonata = new NewTime(); Console.Write("Time of SONATA: "); sonata.SetTime(10, 15, 30); sonata.DisplayNewTime(); } } }
