If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

CSHARP.CLASS.MCS : Missing Call to super (C#)

Summary

C# allows methods to call their implementation in the superclass, through the base.M(par) syntax. It is sometimes the case that redefinitions are expected to call their implementation in the superclass. This checker identifies situations where a call to base.M(par) seems to have been forgotten.

Example

namespace DocumentationExamples
{

    public class CallSuper
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        { }

        public virtual void M() { }


    }
    public class CallSuperA : CallSuper
    {
        public override void M()
        {
            base.M();
        }
    }
    public class CallSuperB : CallSuper
    {
        public override void M()
        {
            base.M();
        }
    }
    public class CallSuperC : CallSuper
    {
        public override void M()
        {
            base.M();
        }
    }
    public class CallSuperD : CallSuper
    {
        public override void M()  // "Missing Call to super (C#)" warning issued here 
                                  // - the two other redfinitions of M() call base.M() 
        {
        }
    }
