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?

You can't have a sealed abstract class (in C#). The compiler compiles
the static class to a "sealed abstract class" construct.
