Force base method call

Question

Is there a construct in Java or C# that forces inheriting classes to call the base implementation? You can call super() or base() but is it possible to have it throw a comp

Answer 1

EDIT Misread construct as constructor. Leaving up as CW since it fits a very limited subset of the problem.

In C# you can force this behavior by defining a single constructor having at least one parameter in the base type. This removes the default constructor and forces derived types to explcitly call the specified base or they get a compilation error.

class Parent {
  protected Parent(int id) {
  }
}

class Child : Parent { 
  // Does not compile
  public Child() {}
  // Also does not compile
  public Child(int id) { }
  // Compiles
  public Child() :base(42) {}

}
