Title: changing abstract method not changing implementors
Post by: curvers on October 07, 2012, 07:34:26 pm

how can i update the implementors of an abstract method automatically when the method signature changes ?

if i have a few classes inhereting the method from the abstract class then i would expect, all child to be updated by default when changing the abstract methods signature

No that doesn't happen automatically.

You will have to do that manually for each subclass.

Alex,

I guess you know about the Ctrl-Shift-O to bring up the "Overrides and Implements" dialog?

You could of course write a script or add-in to update the implementing operations, but I'm not sure if its going to be worth the trouble.
