Code in a base class method that fails when using the base keyword

Question

I see a very strange problem when overriding an abstract method and trying to call a base class method that I am redefining right now.

//In Dll "A"
namespace Rhino.Etl.Core.Operations
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    public class Row {}

    public interface IOperation
    {
        IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows);
    }

    public abstract class AbstractOperation : IOperation
    {
        public abstract IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows);
    }

    public abstract class AbstractDatabaseOperation : AbstractOperation
    {
    }

    public abstract class SqlBulkInsertOperation : AbstractDatabaseOperation
    {
        public override IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("SqlBulkInsertOperation");
            return rows;
        }
    }
}

//In console app "B"
namespace MyStuff
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ActualEtlOperation e = new ActualEtlOperation();
            e.Execute(new Row[0]);

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    public abstract class SqlBulkInsertWithTruncateOperation : SqlBulkInsertOperation
    {
        public override IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Truncate");
            base.Execute(rows);
            return rows;
        }
    }

    public class ActualEtlOperation : SqlBulkInsertWithTruncateOperation
    {

    }
}

Basically, SqlBulkInsertOperation does not do what I need to do, so I need to do a little work before and after I call Execute (rows) on it, overriding it. But the code in SqlBulkInsertOperation.Execute (string) is not executed.

When this code was run in the debugger in Visual Studio, the debugger did not execute the code. When I hover over the "base" in the Visual Studio editor, it knows that the base class is of type SqlBulkInsertOperation.

What am I missing?

Your example does not compile, some returns are missing, but the following modified example

public class Row
{
}

public abstract class BaseDatabaseOperation
{
    public abstract IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows);
}

public abstract class SqlBulkInsertOperation : BaseDatabaseOperation
{
    public override IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("does useful work");
        return new Row[0];
    }
}

public class MyOverride : SqlBulkInsertOperation
{
    public override IEnumerable<Row> Execute(IEnumerable<Row> rows)
{

        Console.WriteLine("do own work here");

    //This does not execute code in base class!
        base.Execute(rows);

        return new Row[0];
}
}

Called as follows:

MyOverride mo = new MyOverride();
mo.Execute(new Row[0]);

generates output

do own work here
does useful work

You must have done something else that is not included in your example.

Are they all compiled at the same time? you may suffer from a disconnected middle base class http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/03/29/putting-a-base-in-the-middle.aspx
