Say I've got a base class Foo.

public class Foo
{
    public Foo()
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Foo Constructor");
    }
}

Now say I've got a derived class Bar.

public class Bar : Foo
{
    public Bar()
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Bar Constructor");
    }
}

When you instantiate Bar, you'll get the following in your console output:

Foo Constructor
Bar Constructor

That's fine.  That's the expected behavior.  But what if I want to completely override or ignore the constructor for Foo?  The compiler doesn't like it when you declare a constructor virtual, and even if I could, I don't think there's a syntax for overriding it.  It seems that I have to take the base class constructor method whether I want it or not.

Am I missing something here?
