Properties are really just glorified methods so yes you can override them assuming the base is marked as virtual. You can use the override or new keywords depending on your situation and then call base.

In fact if you type:

override and pick Visible on a Web control you get this implementation automatically:

		public override bool Visible
		{
			get
			{
				return base.Visible;
			}
			set
			{
				base.Visible = value;
			}
		}

Note you can override properties but not fields.
