09/02/2021, 1:06 PMis it possible to have a component resource inherit from another component resource? We've got a component resource that we'd like to make some of the methods virtual and overwrite them in a child class, but it looks like it might not be possible, particuarly because we can't register the child class with the component resource class

09/02/2021, 3:03 PMthe component resource has as a call to the base pulumi componentresource class to registry the componet e.g. : base("Network:CustomApplicationGateway", name, opts), but if the component resource inherits from another component resource, rather than the base pulumi componentResource class, this won't work because it's not calling that base class
