Modifying parameter values before sending to Base constructor

I expect you could call static methods in the parameter list of the base class constructor.

public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
    public DerivedClass(int i)
        : base(ChooseInputType(i))
    {
    }

    private static InputType ChooseInputType(int i)
    {
        // Logic
        return InputType.Number;
    }
}
