    Example Abstract Class

    Uploaded by

    The abstract modifier can be used in classes, methods, and properties to define base functionality that must be implemented by derived classes. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated and must contain implementations for all abstract members and methods. Abstract methods have no body but derived classes must override them, while abstract properties work similarly but use get accessors instead of method signatures. The example shows an abstract class with abstract methods and properties that are overridden in a derived, non-abstract class.

    The abstract modifier is used in classes, methods and properties.

    Abstract modifier is used when you want the class to be a base class for other classes.
    Key points concerning abstract classes:

    • May not be instantiated.


    • May contain abstract methods and accessors.
    • Cannot be modified with the sealed modifier.
    • A non-abstract class derived from an abstract class must include actual
    implementations of all the inherited abstract methods and accessors

    You may use the abstract modifier in methods and properties to serve the same purpose
    of not having implementations of it.
    Key points concerning Abstract methods:

    • It is implicitly a virtual method.


    • May only be declared in abstract classes.
    • There is no method body since there is no implementation of it during declaration.
    E.g.
    public abstract void GetUserInfo(); // no {} after the signature
    •
    • The actual implementation is provided by an overriding method which is of
    course of a non-abstract class.
    • The following modifiers are not allowed in an abstract method declaration: static,
    virtual and override.

    Abstract properties are similar to abstract methods except for declaration and
    invocation syntax. Key points concerning abstract properties:

    • May not be static


    • An abstract inherited property can be overridden in a derived class by including a
    property declaration that uses the override method.

    An abstract class has to provide implementations for all of its interface members.
    Sample:
    // Abstract classes
    using System;

    abstract class MyAbstractC // Abstract class


    {
    protected int iHours = 40;
    protected int iWage = 25; // A VB developer? *smirk*

    // Abstract method
    public abstract void DoOvertime();

    // Abstract property
    public abstract int GetHours
    {
    get;
    }

    // Abstract property
    public abstract int GetWage
    {
    get;
    }
    }

    // Derived from abstract class, MyAbstractC


    class MyDerivedC: MyAbstractC
    {
    // overriding the method
    public override void DoOvertime()
    {
    iHours = 50;
    iWage = 38;
    }

    // overriding the property


    public override int GetHours
    {
    get
    {
    return iHours;
    }
    }

    // overriding the property


    public override int GetWage
    {
    get
    {
    return iWage;
    }
    }

    public static void Main()


    {
    // instance of derived class
    MyDerivedC dC = new MyDerivedC();

    dC.DoOvertime();
    Console.WriteLine("Hours worked = {0},
    Wage earned = {1}", dC.GetHours, dC.GetWage);

    // Pause output window


    Console.ReadLine();

    Output: Hours worked = 50, Wage earned = 38
