How to access non public methods from a extended inherited classes?

I didnt realize you can only access methods derived from the next class over.

 

so you want to access the next class after your derived class? class <- class <- class (so this one?)
if so, you have to write adapter methods that link you through all classes.. so the first class can access the method via base.method, this method should exist and also call a base.method to the next derived class and so on. You need to pass everything through your classes till you reach the desired one.

 

Access modifiers for members:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wxh6fsc7.aspx

private - accessible only from the scope of the containing class/type

protected - accessible only from the scope of the containing class/type, or a class/type that inherits from the containing class/type.

internal - accessible from the containing assembly

protected internal - accessible from the containing assembly as well as inheriting class. An assembly may use this to allow assembly wide access, but restrict access when inherited in a referencing assembly.

public - no access restriction


When defining a member in a class with no explicit access modifier, it defaults to 'private', to preserve encapsulation.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class Foo
3. {
4.     //this method is private
5.     void Foo() { }
6. }
7.  

 

wish I could comprehend what this is, ill look into that

ill have to research this, thanks

 

Sounds like you simply want protected...

 

Here's an example what i mean:

Code (csharp):

1. class ClassA : ClassB
2. {
3.     public void Walk()
4.     {
5.         base.Walk();
6.     }
7. }
8.  
9. class ClassB : ClassC
10. {
11.     public void Walk()
12.     {
13.         base.Walk();
14.     }
15. }
16.  
17. class ClassC
18. {
19.     public void Walk()
20.     {
21.         //some Action here
22.     }
23. }

Wrote this with my phone, so dont know if this also works with Private methods, at least it should work with protected.

 

I feel silly now, thank you everyone, it was protected. I was trying to make a baseEntity class that all objects derive from and it needed settings methods I could access from everyone per everyone.
