Tag: private constructor

C# constructor usage guideline

private constructor는 정적 메소드와 속성 (static method & property)만 있는 경우 사용함.

public class Counter
{
private Counter() { }
public static int currentCount;
public static int IncrementCount() {  return ++currentCount; }
}
class TestCounter
{
static void Main()
{
// If you uncomment the following statement, it will generate
// an error because the constructor is inaccessible:
// Counter aCounter = new Counter();   // Error
Counter.currentCount = 100;
Counter.IncrementCount();
Console.WriteLine(“New count: {0}”, Counter.currentCount);
// Keep the console window open in debug mode.
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to exit.”);
Console.ReadKey();
}

} // Output: New count: 101

protected constructor는 추상클래스 (abstract class)에서 사용을 권고함. 추상 클래스를 상속받는 파생클래스에서 파생 클래스 생성자가 부모 클래스 즉, 추상 클래스를 초기화 하기 위해 추상 클래스 생성자를 호출 할 수 있도록 지원함.
