An abstract class is generally useful when you are providing a partially or almost functional class, but you require certain things to be overridden to make it fully functional. For example, although they didn't, it would have made sense for Microsoft to make UserControl abstract and make its OnPaint method abstract. Or in my game lobby[^], the BaseLobby is abstract to provide some reusable code to both client and server.

An interface is generally useful when you want otherwise not directly related classes (i.e. they are not part of the same inheritance tree within your code, e.g. two custom controls, or a 'view' in MVC parlance that displays to the screen and one which sends information down a network) to expose common functionality. An interface can be used to 'patch in' functionality into objects that already have an inheritance tree. For example the interface INotifyPropertyChanged – any type of object can be declared to be the source of notification events, without any reason to restrict it to one part of the inheritance branch.

The functionality you're trying to patch in is usually small, most interfaces will only be a few methods, though there are some dubious cases in the framework. (Why would you want to implement IList<T> from scratch, for example?) The downside of an interface is that you need to implement all the methods (and properties) yourself in each class that implements it, which is why they should be simple.

So the short answer is: both, depending on what you want to do.
