Class to inherit the constructor of its base class

Question

I would like to know if I can access the constructor of the base class in its derived classes in C#. If yes please let me know how could we make it. Thanks in advance.

You can call the base class constructor as part of the execution of the derived class constructor

public MyBase
{
    public MyBase() { }
}

public Derived
{
    public Derived() : base() { }
}

When using this pattern, you are said to be using the base class initializer.

For more background, see the base keyword and instance constructors on MSDN.
