.NET Forum / Languages / C# / December 2005private new void
Hi, I have seen some code recently that had the following method signatures: private new void Push(object o) And public new objectname FunctionName() So my question is what is happening here? With the first one why would new be with a void return type? With the second one I am assuming that the function would return a new object of that type, correct? JJ JJ, In this case, the new is not related to the return type of the method. Rather, new is used to indicate that the method shadows a method with the same signature declared on the base class. Hope this helps.

JJ > Ah it says use me instead of the one in the base call when called upon? Not quite. It says "this is actually a different method which happens to have the same name, it's not trying to override another method".

The new modifier makes it explicit that you want your method to not override a virtual method with the same name and signature in a base class, but rather hide it.
