Method Overriding in C#

This document provides an example of method overriding in C#. It defines a base Employee class with a CalculatePay method and a derived SalesEmployee class that overrides CalculatePay to include a sales bonus property in the calculation. The Main method creates SalesEmployee and Employee objects to demonstrate CalculatePay being called on each class, returning the base pay plus bonus for SalesEmployee and just the base pay for Employee.

Method Overriding in C#

Example

This example defines a base class named Employee, and a derived class named SalesEmployee. The
SalesEmployee class includes an extra property, salesbonus, and overrides the method CalculatePay in
order to take it into account.

C#

class TestOverride

public class Employee

public string name;

// Basepay is defined as protected, so that it may be

// accessed only by this class and derrived classes.

protected decimal basepay;

// Constructor to set the name and basepay values.

public Employee(string name, decimal basepay)

this.name = name;

this.basepay = basepay;

// Declared virtual so it can be overridden.

public virtual decimal CalculatePay()

{
return basepay;

// Derive a new class from Employee.

public class SalesEmployee : Employee

// New field that will affect the base pay.

private decimal salesbonus;

// The constructor calls the base-class version, and

// initializes the salesbonus field.

public SalesEmployee(string name, decimal basepay,

decimal salesbonus) : base(name, basepay)

this.salesbonus = salesbonus;

// Override the CalculatePay method

// to take bonus into account.

public override decimal CalculatePay()

return basepay + salesbonus;

}
static void Main()

// Create some new employees.

SalesEmployee employee1 = new SalesEmployee("Alice",

1000, 500);

Employee employee2 = new Employee("Bob", 1200);

Console.WriteLine("Employee4 " + employee1.name +

" earned: " + employee1.CalculatePay());

Console.WriteLine("Employee4 " + employee2.name +

" earned: " + employee2.CalculatePay());

/*

Output:

Employee4 Alice earned: 1500

Employee4 Bob earned: 1200

*/
