Making a class not inherited
Adding to the PostMan's
answer, we can achieve the same by making the Class Constructor Private
.
class NotInheritable
{
private NotInheritable()
{
//making the constructor private
}
}
class Derived : NotInheritable { }
Now the class NotInheritable
will not be inheritable, as the compiler will prompt the error:
NotInheritable.NotInheritable()
is inaccessible due to its protection level.
sealed
is the word you're looking for, and a link for reference
public sealed class MyClass
{
}
And then just create your class as normal, however you won't be able to inherit from it.
You can however still inherit from a different class like so
public sealed class MyClass : MyBaseClass
{
}
