Title
Body
abstract class CustomControl : UserControl { protected abstract int DoStuff(); } class DetailControl : CustomControl { protected override int DoStuff() { // do stuff return result; } } I dropped a DetailControl in a form. It renders correctly at runtime, but the designer displays an error and won't open because the base user control is abstract. For the moment, I'm contemplating the following patch, which seems pretty wrong to me, as I want the child classes to be forced to implement the method. class CustomControl : UserControl { protected virtual int DoStuff() { throw new InvalidOperationException("This method must be overriden."); } } class DetailControl : CustomControl { protected override int DoStuff() { // do stuff return result; } } Anyone has a better idea on how to work my way around this problem?
