C# Calling Base Class Constructor

Question

public CArm(Vector3 at, string name) : base(name)
{

}

Is there any other way to call base parent constructor within the brackets instead of doing : base(name)?

I'm not sure if this was another language but I recall something like super(); inside of the constructor to call the base class.

Thanks.

No, you cannot call base constructors inside constructor bodies in C#. You're probably thinking of Java's syntax.

You can emulate the desired behavior by calling a method instead. Just make sure to be very careful about calling virtual methods!

Or VB.NET's syntax, but the call to the base constructor still must be the *first line* in the constructor. – Cody Gray - on strike Nov 18 '10 at 07:59

no, you can't . super keyword is used in java for calling superclass methods and objects.
