Can't define static abstract string property
- by goombaloon
I've run into an interesting problem and am looking for some suggestions on how best to handle this...
I have an abstract class that contains a static method that accepts a static string that I would like to define as an abstract property. Problem is that C# doesn't doesn't support the following (see the ConfigurationSectionName and Current properties):
public abstract class ProviderConfiguration : ConfigurationSection
{
private const string _defaultProviderPropertyName = "defaultProvider";
private const string _providersPropertyName = "providers";
protected static string ConfigurationSectionName { get; }
public static Configuration Current
{
get { return Configuration)ConfigurationManager.GetSection(ConfigurationSectionName); }
}
}
I suppose one way to handle this would be to make ConfigurationSectionName NOT abstract and then create a new definition of ConfigurationSectionName in the derived classes, but that feels pretty hackish. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Gratias!!!
