Abstract ORM class anyone?

General Questions/Discussions
1

Hi VP,

This is a quick suggestion for a bug/feature in the ORM code generator.

When an ORM class is set as “Abstract” (in the general tab of the class specification), the generated ORM code does not reflect this. I mean, the class is left as “public class”.

This later can lend to compilation errors if you set a class operation as “abstract”. This time the operation (method) is correctly marked as abstract, and the compiler tells you that a “abstract method defined inside not abstract class” :oops: not good…

I have not tried the full code generator because I’m only evaluating the DB-VA Professional (or NET) edition, maybe this one builds the code with that setting, but also with ORM code? :?

So, my question is: Is it possible to put this “abstract” thing into this version? Or specifically, is it a bug not to include this keyword :roll: ? or a feature left to the upper category product 8) ?

Many thanks for your info

Well, I feel better now :smiley: I had a strange feeling about you were my employees, just doing whatever I said :smiley:

But now, seriously, I understand what you said. I’m using this forum because I found it to be an excellent communication channel between end users and developers (and that is mainly thanks to you, Jick).
