Why is this an issue?
A class with only private constructors can’t be instantiated, thus, it seems to be pointless code.
Noncompliant code example
Public Class [MyClass]
Private Sub New() // Noncompliant
' ...
End Sub
End Class
Compliant solution
Public Class [MyClass]
Public Sub New()
' ...
End Sub
End Class
Exceptions
Classes that themselves access their private constructors (singletons or smart enums) are ignored. Classes with only static members
are also ignored because they are covered by Rule {rule:vbnet:S1118}.
