Hi,
Is it possible to have a method sealed and abstract at the same time? MSDN
states clearly that this is not allowed for classes but it does not mention
it for methods. I tried with a simple example and the compiler would not
allow me to compile, however in a recent interview, I was asked this
question and the interviewer claimed that this is used in certain
situations! I am baffled!
Thanks,

.... how can a method be sealed (you cannot override it any further) and
abstract (you must override it) ? It's a contradiction.
If the interviewer was not mentioning ,and you misunderstood , the
combination of sealed override (which is the only way to apply sealed
in a method) then he was one of the usual managers.

Tasos,
I am sure I did not misunderstand because I gave the same argument as you
did. But he insisted that this is possible!

Be happy then if they don't offer you a position. :) The guy was the
typical manager in the typical company :)
Tasos
He wan't talking about classes , right ?
Because even if MSDN states that, it's a valid MSIL construct in .net 2
to enable static classes ... But for methods it's not valid.
A note ... if the guy was talking about classes in .NET 2 then he is
right in a case (altough it's kind of stupid to ask such a question
because it's a tiny detail).
I think that it is a custom in interviews to ask far-fetched questions
just to bring the candidate to a difficult position.

You can't create a sealed abstract class yourself, but I've heard that
the C# compiler compiles static classes as sealed abstract
somewhere... is that possible?
In the beta the was such a thing as sealed abstract :) http://www.agiledeveloper.com/blog/P...d0d7e201e.aspx

That's the fact. But it's down to MSIL (regarding C# compilation) ... I
don't know if it can happen to other languages .
Do you mean that it is possible to have a static abstract sealed class?
And if yes, what is it used for?

I'm trying to get my head around objects and am asking for thoughts on this
idea.
If for example I were to implement a Person Object, there may be differnt
Person objects representing people of different cultures.
All Person objects have similar characteristics, ie Height, Weight, Age ect
but I imagine that there could be a method ie SayHello which Person objects
of different cultures would implement differently.

What is the rationale behind the decision not to allow abstract static class
members? It doesn't seem like it's a logically contradictory concept, or
that the implementation would be difficult or near-impossible. It seems like
it would be useful. In fact, there's a place in my code that I could make
good use of it. So why not?

I have a base class that defines a property. I'd like the the Get to be
implemented by the base class and not overrideable. I would like the Set to
be marked abstract, and thus needs to be filled in by overriding classes.
Is this possible? What's the syntax?

ref struct XXX abstract sealed

The definition above gives me the compiler warning "C4693: a sealed abstract
class cannot have any instance members 'A'". The equivalent definition is
perfectly legal in other CLR languages. For example in C#;

0) What is the convention name for derived classes?
1) If we implement methods in abstract class, do we still need to
declare them as abstract?
2) Are we allowed to override methods in derived classes that are
already implemented in abstract?
3) Are there a different accessibility levels when I inherit class,
like (public, protected, private), like class A:public B?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
