Compiler Warning (level 4) CS0109

The member 'member' does not hide an inherited member. The new keyword is not required

A class declaration included the new keyword even though the declaration does not override an existing declaration in a base class. You can delete the new keyword.

The following sample generates CS0109:

// CS0109.cs  
// compile with: /W:4  
namespace x  
{  
   public class a  
   {  
      public int i;  
   }  
  
   public class b : a  
   {  
      public new int i;  
      public new int j;   // CS0109  
      public static void Main()  
      {  
      }  
   }  
}
