Static Constructor of Abstract class and Derived Classes

Is there a way (using Reflection or anything else) to know what derived class
caused a static contructor to be called?

Not as far as I'm aware, and to be honest I'd be suspicious of a design
which relied on that. What are you trying to do? We may be able to
suggest a better idea.

Not really. At least not AFAIK , not even the StackTrace can be used
as the constructors are called from the top of the tree down.

What are you trying to do though?

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.

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? Chris

Hi all, According C# Language Specification : 10.11 Static constructors: The static constructor for a class executes at most once in a given application domain. The execution of a static constructor is triggered by the first of the following events to occur within an application domain: - An instance of the class is created.

Just want to see if this is 'by design' or a bug... I have a common List<T> defined in a base class, and the base class has a static property to expose this list. I wanted the derived class to add items to this list, but have the base class hold the data and expose the property. Problem is, however, that the derived class' static constructor doesn't get called when DerivedClass.MyList is accessed, so the list has no members. If

Hi all, I popped up this question a while ago, and I thought it was worth checking again now... (maybe something has changed or something will change). I read this book about component oriented design (owreilly - Juval Lowy), and it was actually very nice. The book goes on about how we should use Interfaces exposure instead of classes (this is my terminology and english is not my language so I hope you understand what I'm on about...).

Hello. I have a problem with C# language. I want to define an algorithm on a static function inside an abstract class. This function calls a static variable inside the same class. Then I want to define some derived classes wich inherit the function and override the variable, but it doesn't work. Testcase:

Hi, I have a base class with a static constructor and some abstract methods. Derived classes implement these methods. From articles on the web, it appears that there is no guarentee that this static constructor of the base class would be invoked even if a an object of the derived class is created. Is this correct ? Is there any way to ensure the base class's static constructor is invoked before the derived class instance is constructed ?...

Hello, I searched for an answer to my question and found similar posts, but none that quite addressed the issue I am trying to resolve. Essentially, it seems like I need something like a virtual static function (which I know is illegal), but, is there a way to provide something similar? The class that is the target of my inquiry is a template class that interfaces to one of several derived classes through a pointer to a base class. The...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
