Compiler Error CS0442
'Property': abstract properties cannot have private accessors
This error occurs when you use the access modifier "private" to modify an abstract accessor. To resolve, use a different access modifier, or make the property non-abstract.
The following sample generates CS0442:
C#
// CS0442.cs
public abstract class MyClass
{
public abstract int AbstractProperty
{
get;
private set; // CS0442
// Try this instead:
// set;
}
}
