Abstract member cannot be declared in nonabstract class

• Jun 07, 2019

CodeRush Classic shows the Abstract member cannot be declared in nonabstract class code issue if a non-abstract class contains an abstract member.

Fix

Add the abstract keyword to the class declaration statement.

Purpose

Highlights the abstract member declarations, which would cause the ‘Member name’ is abstract but it is contained in non-abstract class compilation error.

Example

C#

public class MyShape
{
    public abstract double │GetArea();
}

Fix:

C#

public abstract class MyShape
{
    public abstract double GetArea();
}
