Question

Let’s say we have these two classes:

public class Base
{
    public static int GetInt() { return 1; }
}

public class Derived : Base
{

}

Let’s also say that a piece of code calls Derived.GetInt(). How can I tell from within GetInt() that it was Derived.GetInt() and not Base.GetInt() that was called? What reflection technique do I use?

Answer 1

There’s no way to tell the difference, with Reflection or otherwise. The calls are precisely equivalent, and when compiling, already at MSIL level there is no difference.
