.NET property generating “must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern” compilation error

Question

I have a .NET 3.5 (target framework) web application. I have some code that looks like this:

public string LogPath { get; private set; }
public string ErrorMsg          


        

Answer 1

It is, as long as you put abstract in front, or implement the methods.

public abstract string LogPath { get; private set; }
public abstract string ErrorMsg { get; private set; }
