The hide marking addresses a similar but different need than the override label (which is dominant). The derived method or property will override the base method or property, no matter how you define the variable type: either of the derived class or the base class. You don't have any way to restore the base class method or property. The hide label, however, depends on the context. If a variable is of the derived class type, the derived class methods and properties will override the base class's. If a variable is of the base class type, the base class methods and properties will be in effect and will be not be overridden by the derived class.
