method resolution with base types

My situation is this:

public class InheritedClass : BaseClass
{
    public override void SomeMethod()
    {
        AnotherMethod();
    }
    public override void AnotherMethod()
    {
    }
}

public class BaseClass
{
    public virtual void SomeMethod()
    { }
    public virtual void AnotherMethod()
    { }
}

So which method is called when I call InheritedClassInstance.SomeMethod? Does it call InheritedClassInstance.AnotherMethod, or the BaseClass's AnotherMethod?

It will call the derived method on the inherited class unless you explicitly call the base method (base.AnotherMethod())

It calls InheritedClassInstance.AnotherMethod()

If you wanted it to call the base class AnotherMethod() you would write base.AnotherMethod()
