if my base class has custom copy constructor and custom assignment operator and my derived class also, do i have to manually call the base class const and operator? coz, i tried this: my base class serves as an ID class, it has an ID string and few functions for ID access. allthough compiler generated copy constructor and assignemnt oper would work, i intetionaly added them for debugging and learning i then create a new class, derive from ID class and again add copy con and assign oper... i then create two classes, give them diffrent id and try to assign one to another. new class data gets transfered ok, but id''s dont change... so i''m guessing that i have to call them manually?

well, i found out that copy constructors work ok, but assignment operators dont, unless i do this:

const derived_class& derived_class::operator=(const derived_class& ldRhs){     base_class::operator=(ldRhs);     // transfer data from this class     return(*this);}

is this ok?
