Answer / chellammal
No. It is not compulsory that an abstract class
should have atleast one abstract method.
One can declare a class as abstract still with full
implementation of methods. This avoids the instantiation
the class

Answer / saurabh m. chande
It is absolutely not necessary to have at-least 1 method as an abstract method in a class which is defined as an abstract.
But it is equally necessary to declare the class as an abstract class if at-least 1 method within that class is declared as abstract method.
Abstract class contains either the method declaration only or complete method implementation.

Answer / chandrasekhar.k
No,It is not mandatory, but sub class of abstract class
should be override by any one of the method from abstract
class .
Ex:i) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
ii) org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction, etc.,

protected virtual int AddTwoNumbers(int a, int b)

return a + b;
}
}
class absDerived : absClass
{
protected override int AddTwoNumbers(int Num1, int Num2)
{
int n = Num1 + Num2;
Console.WriteLine("sum of method is:" + n);
return n;
}
static void Main()
{
//You can create an
//instance of the derived class
absDerived calculate = new absDerived();
int sum = calculate.AddTwoNumbers(10, 20);
Console.WriteLine("{0}", sum);
Console.Read();
}
}
}

Answer / srinu
No its not compulsory.
first of all Abstract class contain some defined methods or
undined methods or both or only defined methods.Because
Httpservlet contain purely undefined but it declared as a
Abstract class.so finally concluded is its a wrong opinion
for Abstract class contain at least one Abstract methods.
