Can I omit interface methods in abstract classes in C#?

abstract-class, c#, class, java

Solution

You cannot, you would have to do it like this:

public interface MyInterface 
{ 
    void theMethod(); 
} 

public abstract class MyAbstractClass : MyInterface 
{ 
     public abstract void theMethod();
} 

public class MyClass : MyAbstractClass 
{ 
    public override void theMethod() 
    { 
        /* Implement missing interface methods in this class. */ 
    } 
}

Problem

I'm a Java developer who's trying to move into C#, and I'm trying to find a nice equivalent to some Java code. In Java, I can do this: ``` public interface MyInterface { public void theMethod(); } public abstract class MyAbstractClass implements MyInterface { /* No interface implementation, because it's abstract */ } public class MyClass extends MyAbstractClass { public void theMethod() { /* Implement missing interface methods in this class. */ } } ``` What would be a C# equivalent to this? The best solutions using abstract/new/override etc all seem to result in 'theMethod' being declared with a body of some form or another in the abstract class. How can I go about removing reference to this method in the abstract class where it doesn't belong, whilst enforcing it's implementation in the concrete class?
