    <p>The base class should, by design, encapsulate functionality that will be common to all derived classes (since it will be inherited by them). If the field/property that you are initializing through the base class constructor is relevant to the initialization of all derived classes, then yes, passing it to the base class constructor through the <code>base</code> keyword is the correct approach.</p> <p>In your case, since the base class is abstract and its only constructor requires a parameter, then using the <code>base</code> keyword actually becomes mandatory; there is no other way of initializing an instance from the class hierarchy.</p> <p>I am assuming that the example you provided is contrived for the sake of the question. You should <em>not</em> hard-code a class name; you may use the <code>GetType</code> method (or the <code>is</code> keyword) for identifying an instance’s actual type at run-time:</p> <pre><code>MyBase x = new MyChild_One(); Console.WriteLine(x.GetType().Name); // Outputs "MyChild_One" </code></pre> <p>For fields/properties whose values will never change, you could also use an abstract read-only property that is overridden by all derived classes:</p> <pre><code>abstract class MyBase { public abstract String l_strChildName { get; } } class MyChild_One : MyBase { public override String l_strChildName { get { return "MyChild One"; } } } class MyChild_Two : MyBase { public override String l_strChildName { get { return "MyChild Two"; } } } </code></pre>

    2. COYou should have to "taste" the runtime type.if your base class needs knowledge about the run-time type of the object of a derived class there's something fishy about the design.

    3. CO@RuneFS: Good point. Initialization that is influenced by the type of the derived class should be implemented in overridden methods (or their derived constructors).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
