I have a button that has a click event that calls a method called AuthenticateUser()

private void btnOK_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.AuthenticateUser();
}

I subclassed this button.

On my button in the click event I put this code.

public void btnOK_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	bool lResult = this.Login_Click();
	if (!lResult)
		this.txtCompanyID.Focus();
}

when I run the form it runs the authenticateUserCode and then it runs my code.

the only way to stop this was to add the following code

protected override void AuthenticateUser()
{
}

Now it appears to only run my code.

The question i have is why is it running that code in the first place i put code on my button, this code should override the base class code shouldn't it.

I tried adding override to the button but i get and error.

Considering the button is declared as private, then it should only run my code right?
