- Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0, if you derive a class from and override the method, the distribution provided by the derived class implementation of the method is not used in calls to the base class implementation of the method. Instead, the uniform distribution returned by the base class is used. This behavior improves the overall performance of the class. To modify this behavior to call the method in the derived class, you must also override the method.
