[Mono-list] Calling a constructor from within another's code

[Stifu]

You could always move the base constructor code to a protected method and
call it from the derived class constructor.

public class C : B
{
    public C ()
    {
        MyDataStruct data = GetDataFromTheDatabase ();
        this.InitStuff( data.a, data.b );
    }
}
