Gert,
I believe it is a typo. It should to be read *virtual*.

The microsoft page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9fkccyh4.aspx
states:
Remarks (nr 4)
Virtual properties behave like abstract methods, except for the
differences in declaration and invocation syntax.
Why is it "abstract methods", not "virtual methods" ?

I have to agree with Stoitcho that it is most likely a typo. Abstract
methods must be overridden in a derived class. Virtual properties do not
need to be overridden in derived classes. Abstract properties must be
overridden in derived classes.

I'm sure, it's only a typo.
The programmers reference often is much less exact than the specifications.
Here the quote from the specs:
Except for differences in declaration and invocation syntax, virtual,
sealed, override, and abstract accessors behave exactly like virtual,
sealed, override and abstract methods.

Yes,
And it is pretty obvious from the context of the article - its is about
*virtual* keyword not *abstract*.They have different article for
*abstract* - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9fkccyh4.aspx .
In that article one can find exactly the same sentence
"Abstract properties behave like abstract methods, except for the
differences in declaration and invocation syntax."
It looks like more like Copy/Paste error.

Hello,
I thought about a new Python feature. Please tell me what you think
about it.
Say you want to write a base class with some unimplemented methods, that
subclasses must implement (or maybe even just declare an interface, with
no methods implemented). Right now, you don't really have a way to do
it. You can leave the methods with a "pass", or raise a
NotImplementedError, but even in the best solution that I know of,

Hi,
I know that it is illegal in C++ to have a static pure virtual method,
but it seems something like this would be useful when the following 2
conditions hold:
1. You know that every one of your Derived classes will need to
implement some method, but implement it differently, and that the base
class cannot implement it. This is where pure virtual comes in.

I'm on a team building some class libraries to be used by many other
projects.
Some members of our team insist that "All public methods should be virtual"
just in case "anything needs to be changed". This is very much against my
instincts. Can anyone offer some solid design guidelines for me?
Thanks in advance....

I have the following header file in my 'everything useful I think of

ie if the 'clone()' method is called on a polymorphic type, an

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.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
