'member' : virtual or abstract members cannot be private

Private virtual or abstract members are not allowed.

The following sample generates CS0621:

// CS0621.cs
abstract class MyClass
{
   private virtual void DoNothing1()   // CS0621
   {
   }

   private abstract void DoNothing2();   // CS0621

   public static void Main()
   {
   }
}
