Question

I’d like to write a class which extends the functionality of the MembershipProvider and MembershipUser. But my knowledge in this area is woefully lacking.

My cs file looks something like this:

namespace Mech
{
    public class Mechs : MembershipProvider
    {
        private static Database dbConn = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("main");

        public override MembershipUser GetUser(string username, bool userIsOnline)
        {

        }
    }
}

At this point it’s complaining about all the abstract members not being implemented. I don’t really need to change every single member of membershipProvider, just a handful. So what would be the correct way of doing this?

Answer 1

As you are inheriting from an abstract class you need to implement all the non-abstract methods and proporties.

You don’t necessarily have to change everythingthing . You can just leave them as it after implementation.

You can use VS smart features to save you from lots of typing and the parent class has lots and lots of abstract members and methods.

Click on MembershipProvide , Wait for Intellisences to show you the hint as in below picture:
(Alternatively press Alt+Shift+F10)

Now that’s it , you will have your class implementing all the abstract methods and proporties.

So what will happen when you will try to access Field1:

StackOverflow stackOverFlow = new StackOverflow();
            String myString = stackOverFlow.Field1;
