Hi<br>&nbsp;Why can't a constuctor be virtual while a destructor<br>can be.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regards<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;moonoo

because the Contructor of a class is always run, when you create a new object, and you call it, it first runs the Base Constructor, then it runs the Inherited constructor, where as a deconstructor, does not always need to run. Thats what I think. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Hello,<br><br>In the book &quot;The C++ Programming Language&quot; (Stroustrup) there is an explanation on how to reach the same behavior as a virtual constructor.<br><br>All the Best,<br><br>Ami Tavory<br><br><br>
