Hello, Can someone tell me if this class structure is bad?
class abstract Parent{
public Child Foo(){
return new Child();
}
}
class Child : Parent{}
I've heard that referring to a derived type from a base type is always bad and signs of bad design. Can someone tell me why this is bad or even if it is bad?
