Console.WriteLine("\nChecking whether the type is abstract.\n"); Console.WriteLine("MyAbstractClass is {0}", (typeof(MyAbstractClass).IsAbstract) ? "an abstract class." : "not an abstract class."); // Check whether the return type of MyClass is abstract or not. Console.WriteLine("MyClass is {0}", (typeof(MyClass).IsAbstract) ? "an abstract class." : "not an abstract class."); } catch( Exception e ) { Console.WriteLine( "Exception: {0} \n", e.Message ); } } }
