Question

why Base constructor is not inherit in derived class

Mangesh G · Answer

Lets Make it simple Rule of the constructor is it should have same name as that of class so if the constructors are inherited then it will Violate this rule anothe reason constructors are not memeber but they are used to Initialise the Class Members so it does not makes sense to Initialise the things of base class from child class

Hi Mohammed, The base constructor will automattically calls when you are creating object for your derived class.

Because if they do, then every class would have a parameterless constructor derived from Object class. More info here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/426484/why-are-constructors-not-inherited

Gajanan Chavhan · Answer

as per the MSDN documentation: A derived class inherits all the members (fields, methods, and nested classes) from its base class. Constructors are not members, so they are not inherited by derived classes, but the constructor of the base class can be invoked from the derived class.
