What is MultiLayer Inheritence in C#?

Question

Is it like a class can inherit from both an Interface and a base class ?

Answer 1

Probably you mean multilevel inheritance , but it's just a chain of classes inheriting, starting from some base class.

It's like this example class structure:

public class Vehicle { ... } // base class
public class CombustionVehicle : Vehicle { ... } // intermediary class
public class Truck : CombustionVehicle { ... } // derived class

The Truck instance is still a Vehicle , so it still can use it's properties and methods (of course if the access modifier allows it).
