? puzzled look ?

C# & I believe both Java & C++ all support calling overridable methods in
constructors.

In fact System.Windows.Forms.Form.CreateParams is called from the
constructor! Which is why CreateParams cannot rely on fields initialized in
the constructor as the base constructor calls it before the derived
constructor has a chance for it to run.

I really don't see how MyClass adds or takes away support to calling
overridable methods in constructors...

Of course calling an overridable method in a constructor needs to be done
with caution.

Hope this helps
Jay
