You should be able to do it exactly like that: A.f(x)<br><br>

<br>One of the most useful aspects of IronPython for me is the way that I can use IronPython as a loosely typed test environment for .NET classes that I've built in C#. Suppose I have a class B which is a subclass of A, which both define a function f(x). Suppose I have an object of class B on which (for some purely hypothetical reason) I want to run A.f(x) rather than B.f(x). This is clearly at the interface of .NET design and Pythonian antiObjectian philosophy. Here's my question: is it doable within IronPython, or is it not? And if so, how?<br>
