What is The Use of Method Hiding In C# although we having method overriding ? [Resolved]

Method hiding as the name suggest, hides the parent class method but doesn't override it (replace it). This means that if you create the instance of child class and cast to parent class and call that method you can call parent class method.

So method hiding simply is creating a new version of the method keeping the existing one in the parent method. Overriding is completely replacing the current method and declaring a fresh method.
