title: C# Can a base class property be invoked from derived class
body: <p>I have a base class with a property which has a setter method. Is there a way to invoke the setter in the base class from a derived class and add some more functionality to it just like we do with overriden methods using the base keyword. </p>
  
  <p>Sorry I should have added an example. Here is an example. Hope I get it right:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class A 
  {
      public abstract void AProperty 
      {
          set 
          {
              // doing something here
          }
      }
  }
  
  public class B : A 
  {   
      public override void AProperty 
      {
          set 
          {
              // how to invoke the base class setter here
  
              // then add some more stuff here
          }
      }   
  }
  </code></pre>
