Difference between shadow and override?

.

1) The main constraint on overriding is that it needs permission from the base class with the 'overridable' keyword. Shadowing does not require permission of base class.

2) Overriding redefines only the implementation while shadowing redefines the
whole element.

Shadowing nothing but Hiding

in C# by using New keyword we can achive Shadowing

Visual Studio Code Snippets

There are a number of ways to do this in Visual Studio, the most common of which is to use regular intellisense. For instance, below we are about to add a for loop snippet:





You can also get to a menu of just snippets by using the right click menu and choosing the option "Insert Snippet". And, of course, if the mouse is too much work for you, there is a keyboard shortcut that will bring up this menu directly - ctrl-k + ctrl-x. Below, you can see the menu in action as we choose again to insert the for loop snippet.







You might be wondering "why would I want to use a for loop snippet?" - cause after all, a for loop it really isn't that complex to write. Well, what it does is give you the full for loop framework with only a couple keystrokes. This is what inserting the for loop snippet will give you:

OOPS

Abstraction

Abstraction is "the process of identifying common patterns that have systematic variations; an abstraction represents the common pattern and provides a means for specifying which variation to use" (Richard Gabriel).
An abstract class is a parent class that allows inheritance but can never be instantiated. Abstract classes contain one or more abstract methods that do not have implementation. Abstract classes allow specialization of inherited classes.

Polymorphism

Polymorphism allows objects to be represented in multiple forms. Even though classes are derived or inherited from the same parent class, each derived class will have its own behavior. Polymorphism is a concept linked to inheritance and assures that derived classes have the same functions even though each derived class performs different operations.

Virtual keyword

The virtual keyword allows polymorphism too. A virtual property or method has an implementation in the base class, and can be overriden in the derived classes.
To create a virtual member in C#, use the virtual keyword:
public virtual void Draw()
To create a virtual member in VB.NET, use the Overridable keyword:

Public Overridable Function Draw()

Override keyword

Overriding is the action of modifying or replacing the implementation of the parent class with a new one. Parent classes with virtual or abstract members allow derived classes to override them.
