C# abstract struct

Question

How can I achieve inheritance (or similar) with structs in C#? I know that an abstract struct isn\'t possible, but I need to achieve something similar.

It looks like what you want is an interface.

public interface IVertex
{
    int SizeInBytes { get; }
    void SetPointers();
}

public struct ColorVertex : IVertex
{
   private Vector3 Position;
   private Vector4 Color;

   public int SizeInBytes
   {
      get { return (3 + 4) * 4; }
   }

   public void SetVertexPointers() // Did you mean SetPointers?
   {
   }
}

An interface makes sense since all of your methods are declared abstract (this would mean it relies on deriving classes to implement the method which is essentially what an interface is)
