Hi,

I have a class C derived from B which is derived from A.
In an overriden method of C, I would like to call the same base method
but in A.
Using the keyword "base" performs the call in B but hoz can I call the
method in A ? Is there a language construct for this ?
Thank you

If B has overridden the method then there is no way for C to invoke A's version directly

Add a method to B that calls the method in A.
C is derived from B, not A, so it does not really know about A.
