title: C# Inheritance : modify base class variable from derived class
body: <p>I have a base class that looks as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class base 
  {
        public int x;
        public void adjust()
        {
             t = x*5;
        }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and a class deriving from it. Can I set x's value in the derived class's constructor and expect the <code>adjust()</code> function to use that value?</p>
