abstract_sealed_class
A 'sealed' class can't be marked 'abstract' because it's already implicitly abstract.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a class is declared using both the modifier abstract
and the modifier sealed
. Sealed classes are implicitly abstract, so explicitly using both modifiers is not allowed.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the class C
is declared using both abstract
and sealed
:
abstract sealed class C {}
Common fixes
#If the class should be abstract but not sealed, then remove the sealed
modifier:
abstract class C {}
If the class should be both abstract and sealed, then remove the abstract
modifier:
sealed class C {}
