Question

Heres my code where im tryng to override SettingsFileName member:

    public class ProcessorTest: Processor
    {
        public virtual override string SettingsFileName
        {
            get { return @"C:\Settings.xml"; }
        }
    }

Heres the class where is the member:

    public abstract class Processor
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Implement this property to enable initializing singleton from the correct file path
        /// </summary>
        public abstract string SettingsFileName { get; }
    }

But this gives me a error:

A member 'ProcessorTest.SettingsFileName' marked as override cannot be marked as new or virtual

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Just use overridein the inherited class, not virtual override.

virtual marks a member as overridable, so it’s used in the base class. override marks a member as overriding someone overridable. abstract implies virtual.
