. Net base and this

 

• Base

The base keyword is used to access the base class members from the derived class.

• • common use
  • • call methods that have been overwritten by other methods on the base class.
    • specify the base class constructor to call when creating a derived class instance.
  • remarks

Base Class access can only be performed in constructors, instance methods, or instance attribute accessors. It is incorrect to use the base keyword in a static method.

• This

This keyword references the current instance of the class.

• • common use
  • • restrict hidden members with similar names
    • passing objects as parameters to other methods
    • declare the indexer
  • remarks

because static member functions exist at the class level and are not part of an object, therefore, there is no this pointer. It is wrong to reference this in a static method.
