I have this code (sample to reproduce):
public class ObjectBase<T>
{
}
public abstract class ExportBase
{
public void ExportData<T>(string path, T data, string filename)
where T : ObjectBase<T>
{
// Several verifications on data.
// Example:
if (data != null)
{
this.InnerExport(this.GetFileName<T>(path, filename), data);
}
}
protected abstract void InnerExport<T>(string path, T data)
where T : ObjectBase<T>;
public string GetFileName<T>(string path, string filename)
{
// Code.
return "TEST";
}
}
internal sealed class XmlExport : ExportBase
{
protected override void InnerExport<T>(string path, T data)
{
// Code.
}
}
I don't want XmlExport visible (internal in my class library) nor inherits (sealed).
With FxCop 10.0, I've got an CA1047:DoNotDeclareProtectedMembersInSealedTypes:
Name: (FxCopCmd)
Do not declare protected members in sealed types.Description: (FxCopCmd)
Sealed types cannot be extended, and protected members are only useful if you can extend the declaring type. Sealed types should not declare protected members.How to fix: (FxCopCmd)
Make member 'XmlExport.InnerExport(string, T)' private, public, or internal (Friend in Visual Basic).Info: (FxCop)
Sealed types cannot be extended, and protected members are only useful if you can extend the declaring type. Sealed types should not declare protected members.
But I can't change protected to private: virtual or abstract members can't be private. Nor public (does not make sense, here).
I know I can use a SuppressMessage, but I'm wondering if there is a better way (including a modification of the classes).
Thanks.
