hi all
Actually i have one dll name demodll.
which contains this code:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace demoDll
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public virtual int ADDNumbers(int a, int b,int c)
        {
            return 0;

        }
    }

}

now i am adding this dll into another dot net application as a reference.
i want to override this ADDNumbers function in my dot net application.
i want to write implementation for this function.
how can i do it??
Anyone have any sample code or any tutorial which i can go through..
please help..
god bless you all

What do you mean that you want to override this method? If you want to call a different method than this one then call the other method. There is no "overriding" here.

Yesterday, there was a correct answer. Now it's gone, so I'm going to reproduce it here:

Change your in-dll-code to

C#

public abstract class Class1
{
    public abstract int ADDNumbers(int a, int b,int c);
}

This doesn't provide any implementation for AddNumbers() at all, but is enforcing that you override it in every derived class.

Your actual application includes the dll. Do the subclassing there including the implementation of AddNumbers().

If that's all you want from Class1, you can also turn it into an interface instead of a class. That would allow the classes in your application to derive from something else and implement this interface at the same time.

Oh, and the derived class would be something like

C#

public class Class2 : Class1
{
    // The compiler will not allow any Class1-derived
    //   class unless it implements AddNumbers()
    public override int ADDNumbers(int a, int b, int c)
    {
        return( a + b + c);
    }
}

Reference that DLL in another project.

Use the namespace (using demoDll).

Extend the class (public class ImplementingClass : Class1) and override the method as normal

public class ImplementingClass : Class1 {
 public override int ADDNumbers(int a, int b, int c){ ... }
}

It looks like you're trying to do a 'pure virtual function' (C++ terminology) in which case you should make the method abstract, not virtual, in the DLL, and likely make Class1 an interface instead.
