Parent child relationship in C#

Question

Hi I have two classes in Inheritance relationship and I want to know Which class constructor fires first in a parent child relationship.?

Hi Gaurav It will call the base class constructor first in the inheritance relationship. Let us first create the inherited class. public class myBaseClass { public myBaseClass() { // Code for First Base class Constructor } public myBaseClass(int Age) { // Code for Second Base class Constructor } // Other class members goes here } public class myDerivedClass : myBaseClass // Note that I am inheriting the class here. { public myDerivedClass() { // Code for the First myDerivedClass Constructor. } public myDerivedClass(int Age):base(Age) { // Code for the Second myDerivedClass Constructor. } // Other class members goes here } Now what will be the execution sequence here: If I create the object of the derived class as: myDerivedClass obj = new myDerivedClass() Then the sequence of execution will be: public myBaseClass() method. and then public myDerivedClass() method.
