.NET: Why aren't Private Abstract methods allowed?
submitted by crpietschmann crpietschmann 10 months, 12 days ago

pietschsoft.com — Sometimes when creating base objects you want to create methods that are overridable by object that inherit the base object, but keep the methods from being public. However, the compiler throws an exceptions when you try to define a method as "Private Abstract".

the very purpose of having a method being declared abstract means that, the derived class must implement that method. So if the derivd class cannot see the method, how can it implement that meathod.
Henceforth an abstract meathod cannot be declared private but you can use protected access specifier instead.

Correct. And, in fact, you CAN have protected abstract methods.

Yes, you can, and if you read my post, you would see that I stated that "Protected Abstract" is what to use in this case.
