Bernard,

As Hector said, there is no dodefault() in .NET. And also, as Hector said, you can run base class methods, by using the statement base.MyMethod(). However, because you were talking about EventHandlers, I'll go one step further because EventHandlers are a little bit different.

This same topic was brought up just yesterday. Perhaps my reply there (see Message #961432) and in another thread several months ago (check out Thread #923810 ... there are 12 messages in that thread) might shed some light on the subject.
