MSDN: Overriding My Shadows
Everybody's favorite programming language has a new keyword: Shadows. Basically it's an mixture of non-virtual methods and method hiding. That is, in VB.NET overriding methods never hide while non-overriding methods always do (unless I'm totally confused by the proprietary MS jargon.)
I'm not clear why these rather orthogonal attributes are thus attached. In C++ methods in the derived class always hide, regardless of being virtual or not. You can always un-hide with the using keyword.
