Constructors in inheritance

Question

I have class CReader that inherits StreamReader. When i try to assign Stream via [code] CReader(NetworkStream.GetStream()); [/code] I get 'No overload for CReader takes 1 arguments' This works if I use it in plain old StreamReader instead of CReader. I guess I need a custom constructor.... but how??

The following should work: using System ; using System . Collections . Generic ; using System . IO ; using System . Text ; namespace CustomStreamReader { class CustomStreamReader : StreamReader { public CustomStreamReader ( Stream fs ) : base ( fs ) { } } } And you should call it as follows: CustomStreamReader cr = new CustomStreamReader (NetworkStream.GetStream() );
