1Why do you want to inherit from it? Use extension methods instead! – Steven May 07 '11 at 14:57

The SqlDataReader type's constructor is marked as internal which means it can only be instantiated through types in the System.Data.dll assembly. This also prohibits you from inheriting from it, as the base type cannot be instantiated.

Its only constructor is marked as internal, so it cannot be called by any non-framework code.
