System.Activator class problem

[Sabarinath]

Hi,

Why it is not possible to create an instance for System.Activator class. It
is saying that "member is inaccessible due to its protection level", in
compilation. Acutally it is a public sealed class. It is possible to create
an instance of my own public sealed class.

Can anybody explain me Why?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Sabari.

Does your class have a default public constructor?

Hi,

My sealed class doesn't have any default constructor.
The below is my class:

using System;

namespace TestLib
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for SealedClass.
/// </summary>
public sealed class SealedClass
{
public static string Display()
{
string s = "hai";
return s;
}
}
}

Thanks.

Regards,
Sabari.

My sealed class doesn't have any default constructor.

Yes it does. Unless you specify any constructors at all, you get a
public parameterless one.

However, that doesn't sound like the problem - the problem is that
Activator *doesn't* have a public constructor - you're not meant to
instantiate it. Why are you trying to?
