This file declares the Shape class that contains the Area property of the type double.
|
// compile with: csc /target:library abstractshape.cs
public abstract class Shape
{
private string name;
public Shape(string s)
{
// calling the set accessor of the Id property.
Id = s;
}
public string Id
{
get
{
return name;
}
set
{
name = value;
}
}
// Area is a read-only property - only a get accessor is needed:
public abstract double Area
{
get;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return Id + " Area = " + string.Format("{0:F2}", Area);
}
}
|
Modifiers on the property are placed on the property declaration itself. For example:
|
public abstract double Area
|
When declaring an abstract property (such as Area in this example), you simply indicate what property accessors are available, but do not implement them. In this example, only a get accessor is available, so the property is read-only.
The following code shows three subclasses of Shape and how they override the Area property to provide their own implementation.

// compile with: csc /target:library /reference:abstractshape.dll shapes.cs
public class Square : Shape
{
private int side;
public Square(int side, string id)
: base(id)
{
this.side = side;
}
public override double Area
{
get
{
// Given the side, return the area of a square:
return side * side;
}
}
}
public class Circle : Shape
{
private int radius;
public Circle(int radius, string id)
: base(id)
{
this.radius = radius;
}
public override double Area
{
get
{
// Given the radius, return the area of a circle:
return radius * radius * System.Math.PI;
}
}
}
public class Rectangle : Shape
{
private int width;
private int height;
public Rectangle(int width, int height, string id)
: base(id)
{
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
public override double Area
{
get
{
// Given the width and height, return the area of a rectangle:
return width * height;
}
}
}

The following code shows a test program that creates a number of Shape-derived objects and prints out their areas.
|
// compile with: csc /reference:abstractshape.dll;shapes.dll shapetest.cs
class TestClass
{
static void Main()
{
Shape[] shapes =
{
new Square(5, "Square #1"),
new Circle(3, "Circle #1"),
new Rectangle( 4, 5, "Rectangle #1")
};
System.Console.WriteLine("Shapes Collection");
foreach (Shape s in shapes)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
/* Output:
Shapes Collection
Square #1 Area = 25.00
Circle #1 Area = 28.27
Rectangle #1 Area = 20.00
*/
