C#: Creating an instance of an abstract class without defining new class

Question

I know it can be done in Java, as I have used this technique quite extensively in the past. An example in Java would be shown below. (Additional question. What is this techn

Answer 1

That can't be done in C#; you need to declare a new class type. The closest you can get in C# is probably a named nested class:

public class StartHere{
    private class Foo : Example {
        public override void  doStuff()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("did stuff");
        }
    }
   public static void Main(string[] args){
      Example x = new Foo();
      x.doStuff();
   }
}
