Code which does not know about ContractEmployee can still call methods on it if they are overrides of virtual (or abstract or interface-defined) methods of a base class.

class Employee 
{
    public void Talk()
    {
        MessageBox.Show("I am an Employee.");
    }
}

class ContractEmployee: Employee 
{
    public void ContractTalk()
    {
        MessageBox.Show("I am a Contract Employee.");
    }
}

static void CreateEmployee()
{
    Employee e = new ContractEmployee();
    e.Talk();
    ((ContractEmployee)e).ContractTalk();
}

static void CreateEmployee()
{
    Employee e = new Employee();
    e.Talk();
    ((ContractEmployee)e).ContractTalk(); // Here you will get an exception at runtime. Compliler won't find any errors.
}

class Employee
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

class ContractEmployee : Employee
{
    public object Contract { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Employee e = new ContractEmployee();
        e.Name = "Ricky"; // No problem with this
        e.Contract = new object(); // Problem: this does not compile
    }
}

which properties and methods does the object e has?

((ContractEmployee)e).Contract = new object();

// or

ContractEmployee ce = (ContractEmployee)e;
ce.Contract = new object();

how should I read this?

  1  Employee e = new ContractEmployee();
  2  Debug.Assert (e is Employee);
  3  Debug.Assert (e is ContractEmployee());

  1  Employee e = new ContractEmployee();
  2  ContractEmployee ce = e as ContractEmployee;  // unsafe casting; better to use the cast operator
  3                                                // (ContractEmployee) which will throw on failure
  4  Debug.Assert (ce != null);

Or maybe it's the opposite that is true?

Test(double b_):this(b_,c)

public Test(double b_)
{
  double c_ = ...
  Initialize(b_, c_);
}
public Test(double b_, double l)
{
  Initialize(b_, l);
}
private void Initialize(double b_, double l)
{
  ...
}

public Test(double b) : this(b, b * Math.Sqrt(44)) { ...

The problem is that when it is rendered the grid does not render correctly
