C# does not implement inherited abstract member

I have searched very much about this question. There are many ways which are explained but they have not been usable for me.

I have this class:

public class ArcHydro : Oatc.OpenMI.Sdk.Backbone.LinkableComponent
{
   public void Initialize(Argument[] properties)
        {
            _timeStamps = new ArrayList();
            _culture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat;
            _links = new Hashtable();
            readArcHydro();
        }
}

Which inherits this class

namespace Oatc.OpenMI.Sdk.Backbone
{
    public abstract void Initialize(IArgument[] properties);
}

The error is

`'CUAHSI.OpenMI.ArcHydro' does not implement inherited abstract member 
'Oatc.OpenMI.Sdk.Backbone.LinkableComponent.Initialize(OpenMI.Standard.IArgument`[])'`

How can I solve it? I used override before class but the error remains.

The signature of the implemented method should be exactly the same as the abstract one. Therefore you should have it like this:

public override void Initialize(IArgument[] properties)
{
...
}

Please pay attention that your input arguments should be from type IArgument[] which you have mentioned in your abstract class and remember to mark it as override

Follow the example on Microsoft

Your implementation function should have the "override" keyword, and the same arguments. 

public override void Initialize(IArgument[] properties)
{
   //...
}

You have two problems. You should be implementing:

public abstract void Initialize(IArgument[] properties);

but you're implementing:

public void Initialize(Argument[] properties);
// --------------------^ Notice the missing 'I'.

Secondly, you're missing the override keyword. So your class should look like this:

public class ArcHydro : Oatc.OpenMI.Sdk.Backbone.LinkableComponent
{
    public override void Initialize(IArgument[] properties)
    {
        _timeStamps = new ArrayList();
        _culture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat;
        _links = new Hashtable();
        readArcHydro();
    }
}
