Question

I have a base class that has the following property:

public virtual Dictionary<String, int> activity
    {
        get;
        set;

    }

A derived class overrides this as such:

Dictionary<string, int> myActivity = new Dictionary<string, int>()
    {
        {"result", 5},
        {"total", 6}
    };


    public override Dictionary<string, int> activity
    {
        get
        {
            return myActivity;
        }

    }

I want to call the override dictionary from within the same assembly of the base class, but a different class.

so for example from Class2 I want to call:

Class1 c = new Class1();

And then try to access dictionary as such:

c.activity["result"]

I get an error saying it’s not within the dictionary?

The derived class is in another assembly…dll file.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Class1 c = new Class2();
c.activity["result"]

will work you override activity property in Class2 not in Class1
