Hi,

the base constructor gets called implicitly. If you have construction
parameters you have to set them explicitly in the child class:


public class Base : Object {
    public string name { private get; construct; }

    public Base (string name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    construct {
        // Base construction code
    }
}

public class Child : Base {
    public Child (string name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    construct {    // base construction code gets called implicitly
        // Child construction code
    }
}
