Obsoleted method should be avoided, rather than overridden. Obsolescence is a warning that the method has been superseded, and will eventually be removed. The obsolescence period allows you to make a smooth transition away from the aging, soon-to-be-retired technology.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
public class Car
{

  [Obsolete("Replaced by the automatic starter")]
  public void CrankEngine(int turnsOfCrank) 
  { ... }
}

public class R2 : Car
{

  public void CrankEngine(int turnsOfCrank)   // Noncompliant
  { ... }

  ...
}
----

== Compliant Solution

----
public class Car
{

  [Obsolete("Replaced by the automatic starter")]
  public void CrankEngine(int turnsOfCrank) 
  { ... }
}

public class R2 : Car
{

  ...
}
