    Calling base methods BeginProcessing, EndProcessing, ProcessRecord

    A few web tutorials presenting custom CmdLets are calling the base methods
    BeginProcessing, EndProcessing, ProcessRecord. But are those calls really
    necessary (or even advised) ?



    Thanks in advance,

    It's a no-op according to Reflector i.e. those three methods in
    System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet do nothing. So they don't need to be
    called but calling them does nothing (other than waste a few cycles).
    Personally I would remove the calls to avoid confusion.
