records ToString and inheritence

This technical article analyzes a C# code snippet involving an abstract record and a derived record, demonstrating how the ToString method behaves with inheritance. It examines the compiler-generated code and explains why the output isn't as simple as expected. The article highlights a fix introduced in C# 10 using the 'sealed' modifier on the overridden ToString method to control the output, making it a detailed guide for C# developers working with records and inheritance.
