Compiler Error CS0681
The modifier 'abstract' is not valid on fields. Try using a property instead
You cannot make a field abstract. You can, however, have an abstract property that accesses the field.
Example 1
The following sample generates CS0681:
// CS0681.cs
// compile with: /target:library
abstract class C
{
abstract int num; // CS0681
}
Example 2
Try the following code instead:
// CS0681b.cs
// compile with: /target:library
abstract class C
{
public abstract int num
{
get;
set;
}
}
