Abstract Properties

Abstract Properties are similar to Interface Properties, Abstract Properties are those which are defined in an Abstract class, similar to Interface Properties they do not have any definition, we just need to define the get {} and/or set {} accessors.

The class which inherits the abstract class will use the property and define the get {} and/or set {} accessors in the derived class.

The following example defines an abstract class with an abstract property.

    abstract class AbsEmployee

    {

        string Name

        {

            get;

            set;

        }

    }

The above abstract class is derived by the following class and the abstract property is fully defined in the derived class.

    class Employee : AbsEmployee

    {

        private string strName;

        //

        public string Name 

        {

            set

            {

               strName = value;

            }

            get

            {

                return strName;

            }

        }

    }
