Not inherited!
Default constructor of base class is called
Can invoke alternative base class constructor via : base(...)
Object of derived type should be able to be used
wherever an object of base type was expected
(because it just "adds" extra features)
Can use base type reference to refer to
object of derived type
Take base type as parameter to method
Return base type from method
Store collection of base type references
References include what type they are
Base method marked as virtual
Derived method marked as override
Actual method called decided at runtime
Downcasting via (type)
Downcasting safely via "is" or "as"
