If you need to call the base constructor but not right away because your new (derived) class needs to do some data manipulation, the best solution is to resort to factory method. What you need to do is to mark private your derived constructor, then make a static method in your class that will do all the necessary stuff and later call the constructor and return the object.
public class MyClass : BaseClass
{
private MyClass(string someString) : base(someString)
{
//your code goes in here
}
public static MyClass FactoryMethod(string someString)
{
//whatever you want to do with your string before passing it in
return new MyClass(someString);
}
}
