How to prevent anyone sees method statements code when pressing F12?

Question

I define a method in a class and call it in another class. It works fine.

But, if I select the method and press F12, Visual Studio will find the method and show me the statements code automatically.

I have tried it with the method: Console.WriteLine();. I select WriteLine and press F12. It redirects me to:

namespace System
{
   public static class Console
   {
      public static void WriteLine();
   }
}

All of the statements code of WriteLine() are hidden (sorry, hidden means that I don't see it).

I want to write a new method like WriteLine():

public int Add(int a, int b);

But I don't know where is the place I can implement method Add(int a, int b) (in another class).

Can you teach me?

The answer below was exactly my thoughts and works well. You could try "method hiding with inheritance" — Tez Wingfield, Aug 12 '15 at 07:06
The question makes no sense. What is the *actual* problem you are trying to solve? You can't disable IDE functionality from source code, nor should you want to. Disabling the "Go To" button makes absolutely no sense - anyone can still read the source code, search for the definitions, etc. — Panagiotis Kanavos, Aug 12 '15 at 07:06

Only the compiled (dll) methods can't be shown. If you're importing a project with code source then you'll see the code (that's the purpose)

You can still view the source of a dll. ILSpy for example – Aug 12 '15 at 07:06
Or Reflector. Or ReSharper. Or JustDecompile. Some of these tools will even allow you to debug into the decompiled code – Panagiotis Kanavos Aug 12 '15 at 07:07
Yes there are many tools for that. But the simple `F12` won't do it – tafia Aug 12 '15 at 07:08
