Hi,

I tried using:

  public class BaseObject
    {
        private BaseObject() { }
    }

to prevent other developers directly creating an instance of the class. I was hoping to sub-class from this and have the behaviour inherited by these classes. Seems that's not possible - in fact I can't sub-class from BaseObject at all because 'BaseObject is inaccessible due to it's protection level'. Any other way to achieve what I need (I don't like the idea of having to put private constructors in all the leaf classes)

Regards,
Viv
