Conflicting Modifiers for Partial Class?

I have a partial class split across two files. In the class
declaration found in the first file, I state that it's a sealed class.
In the class declaration found in the second file, I do not use the
keyword sealed. This compiles fine. When I actually try to inherit
from this class, I see that it's sealed.

Can someone explain how this works? If a modifier is found in only one
part of a partial class declaration, will the modifier always apply to
every instance of the class? (Note: we'd see a compile error if I
tried to mix two opposed modifiers, like abstract and sealed.) I
didn't expect my original experiment to work, and then it did; it's
both neat and a little confusing. Any clarification is appreciated.
Thanks,

Cody Powell

Think of partial classes as single classes which span two or more
files. Omitting parts of the class declarations are fine, as long as
they don't confict, like you've discovered. The two (or more) classes
will effectively be merged together at compile time.

Hi In asp.net 2.0 an aspx files .cs file is a partial class and all works fine, however, I thought I’d be able to create another class file, call it a partial class and have that compile and load as a 3rd partial class. This would be handy so i can generate standard code into one of the partial classes, while having my custom code untouched

Hi, I have a class that implements the ICollection interface and subclasses the PropertyDescriptor class. The problem is that both the interface and base class are expecting an implementation of the IsReadOnly property. I have tried qualifying the property names with the interface and base class name but it then complains that the modifiers 'override' and 'public' are not valid for the property. I've had a search around and I can only...

Hi everyone, Has anyone looked at section 18.1.1 of the C# spec? It indicates 'new' and 'protected' are valid modifiers on struct declarations. First, how can 'protected' be valid on a struct, since structs cannot be inherited? The compiler gives an error (as I expect it should) if you try this: protected struct MyStruct {} so I'm wondering if the spec is wrong when it says 'protected' is a valid
