Accessing parent class data member in derived class using "base" keyword

In this code snippet we will discuss about how to access parent class data member from derived class.

If you want access parent class data member in the derived class then use ‘base’ keyword. In the derived class we can access all the data members (Public, Protected, internal, protected internal)  of parent class other than private data member.

Example:

public class AcessBaseDataMember     {        public static void Main()        {            DerivedClass obj = new DerivedClass();            obj.Get_Base_DataMember();            obj.Get_Derived_DataMember();            Console.Read();        }                 }     public class BaseClass     {         protected int i = 10;     }    public class DerivedClass:BaseClass     {          int i = 20;         public void Get_Derived_DataMember()         {             Console.WriteLine("Derived class data member value is {0}",i);         }            public void Get_Base_DataMember()         {             Console.WriteLine("Base class data member value is {0}",base.i);         }     }

Output:
