Question

For example, if I have a class that creates the following method:

public new string ToString() {
//some code
}

But let’s say that I needed to call the ToString method from the Object class. How would I do that?

Answer 1

You should cast to the Object and then call the method:

class A
{
    public new string ToString()
    {
        return "bugaga!";
    }
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var a = new A();

    Console.WriteLine(a.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine(a); // here object 'a' will be casted to object
}

output:

bugaga!
