Abstract member cannot be private

• Jun 07, 2019

CodeRush Classic shows the Abstract member cannot be private code issue if an abstract member is marked as private.

Fix

Change visibility of the abstract member.

Purpose

Highlights the abstract member declarations, which would cause the Virtual or abstract members cannot be private compilation error.

Example

C#

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

Fix:

C#

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