Correnting My Mistake: Static Methods & Child Classes
In a previous post I said that you can't "inherit" static methods from your parent class. Apperantly I was mistaken. The following code works on both 1.1 & 2.0:
public class Parent
{
public static void Static()
{
}
}
public class Child : Parent
{
}
class MainClass
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Child.Static();//The real method called here is Parent.Static();
}
}
Thanks to Tomer Gabel for setting me straight on the subject. I'm not sure what exactly convinced me that you can't do that.
Anyway, this opens up a whole new set of options when you combine static generic methods. So the code I showed last time would work:
{
public static T[] FindAll() { .... }
}
public class Blog : ActiveRecordBase<Blog> { ... }
Blog [] blogs = Blog.FindAll();
This is another cool tool to keep in the toolbox.
