Bit of a dumb question, but I'm wondering what the accepted way of passing data from back to an overridden base method is in c#.

e.g. I guess I could do:

class A
{
    int x;
    public virtual void DoStuff() {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}

class B : A
{
    public override void DoStuff() {
        x = 1;
        base.DoStuff();
    }
}

But is there a better method that for example doesn't require the use of a member variable?
