Abstract methods in ax 2012

Abstract methods are used when you wish to force the developer of a sub-class to override the method and provide functionality.

Methods are declared as abstract by using the abstract keyword,

 for example "

public abstract void abstractMethod()

{

}

No code or declarations are allowed inside an abstract method.

·         It is not possible to declare a method as abstract unless the class is also declared as abstract.

·         If a sub-class is created which does not override the abstract methods in its parent, then a compile error will occur where that sub-class is used.
