Compiler Error CS0074

'event': abstract event cannot have initializer

If an event is marked as abstract, it cannot be initialized. For more information, see Events.

The following sample generates CS0074:

// CS0074.cs  
delegate void D();  
  
abstract class Test  
{  
   public abstract event D e = null;   // CS0074  
   // try the following line instead  
   // public abstract event D e;  
  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
   }  
}
