That subject line sucks, but I couldn't think of a good one, as the question is a bit odd.
In VB, you can do this:
What this does is allow you to create a class like so:
If an instance of TestClass is created and put in a variable of type ITestRW, then the property is read/write, whereas if the class is put in a variable of type ITestReadOnly, then the property is read only. I'm looking for an efficient way to do the same in C#, and my experience with C# is not up to it. I can see a bad way to do it, but without the Implements keyword, I don't see a way that is as easy. Maybe that's just how it is, but I figured I'd ask on here to see if there is a piece of the language that I am not familiar with that would allow this. The goal is a single property that is read only for one interface and read/write for a second interface, such that one interface could inherit the other to add write functionality where the base interface is read only.
In VB, you can do this:
Code:
Interface ITestReadOnly
ReadOnly Property MyProperty As Boolean
End Interface
Interface ITestRW
Inherits ITestReadOnly
Overloads Property MyProperty As Boolean
End InterfaceCode:
Public Class TestClass
Implements ITestRW
Implements ITestReadOnly
Public Property MyProperty As Boolean Implements ITestRW.MyProperty, ITestReadOnly.MyProperty
Get
End Get
Set(value As Boolean)
End Set
End Property
End Class
