Question

I have a class like this:

public class foo
{
    public foo(string a, string b) { ... }
}

I want to do something like this:

public class bar : foo
{
    public bar()
    {
        base = base("apple", "banana");
    }
}

Visual Studio yells at me saying:

'foo' does not contain a constructor that takes 0 arguments

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

This is the way to do it:

public class foo
{
    public foo(string a, string b) { ... }
}

public class bar : foo
{
    public bar(): base("apple", "banana") // call base constructor
    {

    }
}
