If a partial class inherits from a class then all other partial classes with the same name should also inherit the same base class?

Question

I have a class in Model in my MVC project like this.

public partial class Manager : Employee {     public string Name {get;set;}     public int Age {get;set;} } 

And this class I have in App_Code folder in the same project. Now I want to know whether my this class is also need to get inherit from the Employee class or Not?

public partial class Manager  {     public void SaveEmployee(); } 

I have to do this because my client want me to move all the methods in App_Code folder which are dealing with database.

And yes both these classes are sharing the same namespace.

Answer 1

That's a single class defined across multiple declarations, not two different classes. You only need to define the inheritance model in a single declaration, e.g.:

public class Foo { }  //Bar extends Foo public partial class Bar : Foo { }  public partial class Bar {  } 

However, if you were to try the following, you'd generate a compiler error of "Partial declarations of 'Bar' must not specify different base classes":

public class Foo { }  public partial class Bar : Foo { }  public partial class Bar : object {  }
