Thanks. So, it appears that the answer is that there is no way to dynamically modify the parameters passed to the base class constructor during the execution of the derived class constructor. Correct?
I'm not really sure what you mean.
As you've read, 1) the base class constructor is called when you instantiate the derived class 2) you can pass parameters to to the base class constructor.
Can you give a more practical example of what you are thinking about doing?
