C# Compiler Error
CS0522 – ‘constructor’ : structs cannot call base class constructors
Reason for the Error
You’ll get this error in your C# code when you attempt to call the base class constructor from the struct.
For example, let’s try to compile the below C# code snippet.
using System;
namespace DeveloperPublishNamespace
{
public class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass(int i)
{
}
}
public struct samplestruct
{
public samplestruct(int i) : base(0)
{
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("No Error");
}
}
}You’ll receive the error code CS0522 because the struct “samplestruct” has a constructor that is calling the base class constructor.

Solution
To fix this error in your C# code, you will need to remove the call to the base class constructor from the struct.
using System;
namespace DeveloperPublishNamespace
{
public class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass(int i)
{
}
}
public struct samplestruct
{
public samplestruct(int i)
{
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("No Error");
}
}
}
