Hello
I have been reading about the differences between virtual and abstract
keywords...
What i understand is that with VIRTUAL keyword, you can actually write the
whole method and override it if needed... with abstract, you just declare
the method name and must write the code in the inherited class. Am I right??
public class House{
public House(){}
public virtual string GetHouseName()
{
return "This is the House name Method"; // Virtual method implemented
}
public abstract string GetHouseNumber( ); // Abstract method not implemented
}
public class DogHouse : House
{
public DogHouse(){}
public override string GetHouseName()
{
return "This is the override GetHouseName method";
}
public override string GetHouseNumber( )
{
return "This is the number overrided method";
}
} 5 1771
Yes.

Hi,
I like to think of virtual as a "permission to override" and abstract as
an "obligation to override", though it's actually more an obligation to
implement.
BTW, override becomes overridden, not overrided ;-)

jeje, Ok, overriden... i am improving my language too here... this works!!!
by the way, you can only have abstract methods in abstract class... Already
tested all the possible combinations and found out also that. You can have
virtual methods in abstracts class.
good wednesday

The thing is, as soon as you have one abstract method in the class, the
class automatically becomes abstract too. How can you create an object
when one part of its behaviour is unknown? Since C# is a very strict
language, abstract classes must be marked with the abstract keyword,
that's why you get a compiler error when you omit it.

In addition to what others said:
Not only methods can be abstract. Also properties, events and indexers can
be abstract.

Since nobody responded to my earlier post , I thought I
would try to explain what I am doing a bit differently.
When multiply inheriting pure virtual (abstract) base classes, a class
obviously bloats quickly for each new vtable needed. Execution slows down
considerably as well. You can work around this by using interfaces
referemnces which have a pointer to the object and a pointer to an external
function lookup table. This technique...

Hi NG !
I'm new in C# and I'm reading a book about the fundamentals and concepts.
In the chapter Methods it's written to use virtual, if i would like to
override the method in a subclass. This I've to do by using override.
It's also written, that's possible to "hide" the base class method by
using the new key word.
Because I've already written some C# code and I didn't know anything

Hello,
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/virtual-functions.html#faq-20.7
As per the link above it's wise to have a virtual deconstructor when
creating an abstract class. Here is when I'm little confused. Am I
deleting the right object when I call the virtual deconstructor? I was
under impression when creating a class if I'm not specifically
allocating memory, do not implement deconstructor and let the default
take care of it...

what is the difference to use the keyword virtual,abstract when we are

when we need to override?

Hi,
"when we call a virtual method, the runtime will check the instance who
called the method and then choose the suitable override method, this may
causes the performance drop down", is this right?
And, why not use "new" instead of using "virtual"?
And the last question, what is the differences between a abstract method and
a interface?

Hello,
If I have a class that has virtual but non-pure declarations, like
class A{
virtual void f();
};
Then is A still an abstract class? Do I have to have "virtual void
