• Visual C# Abstract classes and static methods

  Hello there! I was wondering why is not possible to define a static method into an abstract class, well... I was wondering that because I'm trying to force an user who inherits from this class to implement a static class and I just didn't find a way to do that... is there a way to do this Because there's a layer calling static methods and I don't want to change these methods to regular methods just because I'm not being able to solve this problem... Thanks Static methods can be defined in an abstract class. However, you cannot force a derived class to implement a static method. If you think about it, such a method would be ...Show All

• Visual C++ /FC compiler switch apparently not working

  Hi all, When trying to output the __FILE__ predefined macro, I always get the file name fully qualified regardless if I have /FS set or not as a compiler option. Is this switch not working, or is there some other compiler switch that is forcing fully qualified path names There is no /FS compiler switch. There is a /FC compiler option, that causes the compiler to display the full path of source code files passed to the compiler in diagnostics, including for the __FILE__ macro. If /FC is not specified, the names of the files are displayed, and not the absolute paths. So, I think you make a confusion here ...Show All

End If If in the future more instance variables are added this function will also grow, and it is already pretty bulky as is. Also I dont like har ...Show All
