title: What is base..ctor(); in C#?
body: <p>I am disassembling some C# applications and I am trying to reconstruct the source code. I am disassembling the application along with the required DLLs.<br>I keep coming across this line <code>base..ctor();</code> which gives me an error. The line occurs in some voids with in some subclasses of <code>Stream</code> and <code>Exception</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea what the code should be? I am thinking the disassembler messed it up some how and it is clearly invalid code.
  So does anyone know what it is meant to mean and how I can change the line so it works?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code of one of the subclasses that line occurs in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Guid("ebc25cf6-9120-4283-b972-0e5520d0000E")]
  public class ZlibException : Exception
  {
      public ZlibException()
      {
          base..ctor();
          return;
      }
  
      public ZlibException(string s)
      {
          base..ctor();
          return;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
