Include a call to an initialization method as part of object construction

[msauper]

I'd like to be able to define a method that will be called as the last step of object construction once all object constructors have been called. This method would support method overrides. The method could be defined explicitly or convention. Explicitly, the method could be identified by an attribute or Interface implementation.

So basically you want the "validator", which the team is already considering to add (though it's probably gonna miss 9.0).

Yes, that is what I would like. Although, my use is to implement standard initialization of objects that depend on information provided by inherited objects.

[Joe4evr]

Yes, so for that scenario, you would provide some protected virtual method in your object that you call from the validator/"final initializer".
