The closest you’d be looking for is
protected, which can only be accessed by the class that declares it and its derivatives. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173121.aspxUnless you are referring to an
abstractclass, which can’t be instantiated and can contain method declarations without code: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sf985hc5(v=vs.71).aspx
