Call the base Constructor in the Constructor of the subclass

Is it possible to call the base Constructor at spicific point in the constructer of the subclass like:

public class SuperClass
{
  public SuperClass(Object myObject)
  {
     // init some values ...
  }
}

public class SubClass: SuperClass
{
  public SubClass(): base(Object myObject)
  {
     //Check some preconditions
     base(myObject);
     // Do some other stuff
  }
}

The right syntax is 

public class SubClass: SuperClass
{
  public SubClass(object myObject): base(myObject)
  {

  }
}

Here is link of using constructors. It is impossible to call it in ctor's body directly.

No, it's not possible.

One way to achieve this behavior you could extract the contents of the base constructor out into a method and then call that method from the subclass.

Another less closely tied method would be to just not use inheritance here. It's possible that this is a situation in which composition would make more sense. (It's impossible to say for sure without knowing more information though.)

No, because at //Check some preconditions you'd have a partially constructed object. This would lead to all sorts of problems.
