implicit called base() or this()

[Ryan Liu]

Hi,

When I extend a class, for the new class's parameter-less constructor, is
the :base() called implicitly?

And for overloaded constructor, is :this(), and in turn :base() always
implicitly called?

Thanks!

:this() isn't called, :base() is. If you want to call one overload of
the ctor from another, you've to specify :this(..) explicitly.

this() is not called, but base() is called, unless you explicitly call a
different base or this constructor.

You can test these yourself with a little Console.WriteLine and a couple
of test classes. That's the best way to find the answer to these kinds
of questions.
