Is there any difference b/w baseclass method hiding (using new) and overriding virtual methods??

Question

Using the new keyword we are hiding the base methods implementation. using override we are overriding the base class method with a new implementation in derived class. For me both looks like the same. i dont feel any difference. Class Baseclass { public void mymethod() { my implementation } } Class Derived : BaseClass { new public void mymethod() { my new implemetation } } if i want to access base calss method, i can use BaseClass.mymethod() . if i want to access the new implementation i can use Derived.mymethod(). using the new, i am giving the new implementation to the same method instead of overriding. here what is the difference b/w new and override??
