Bill on Interface Mapping

27 02 2005

Bill McCarthy has posted up a fantastic piece on interface mapping as implemented in VB.NET. When I first started playing around with VB.NET all those years ago I was curious why they had designed the language that way, but it only took my first VB.NET project that required implementation of conflicting interfaces to persuade me that it was a great feature. C#’s implementation isn’t all that bad but it can get mighty complicated when you need to implement multiple interfaces where there are base class considerations as well.

All I can say is thank goodness we don’t have multiple inheritence

P.S. Bill, I haven’t received your abstract for Code Camp Oz!

Hey Mitch,

Yeh, Declerative events and ineterface mapping I think are real big plusses for VB.NET. I wish C# had them too and through in a bit of case insensitivity ;)

Looking forward to CodeCampOz . Chatted with Nick today about the VB sessions, and should have some really cool content there. I have also narrowed down the DIE enhancements session to cover templates, snippets, and soem of the new designers such as hte class designer, app designer, strongly typed resources and settings etc, as these are all pretty well language neutral. Will touch on partial classes, where relevant to project, templates and designers.

Anway, I’ll write that up a bit for you and email u l8r tonight.

BTW: if you get a chance dro pme an email re accomodation. I probably need to book something soon, and need soem advice :)

Thnx,

Bill

P.S. glad you like the bit on Interface mapping. :)
