Convert Interface To MustInherit Class?
Feb 23, 2010
I've got an Interface that dictates classes that implement it to use a large amount of properties and a few methods. I've been using this interface for some time and I have a large amount of classes that implement it.
Now, I need the interface to become a MustInherit (abstract) class, because I need to implement a single method that must be the same for every class implementing the interface (I mean the implementation must be the same, hence I cannot use an interface anymore).
Is there a way to do this automatically, perhaps even using third party tools such as resharper (which is C# only I think?) or similar? I get a headache even thinking about the work I need to do to make this change manually[code]....

i have 2 mustinherit classes where one is a generic one:
'Visual Basic 2008 - .net 3.5 - Any CPU
Public MustInherit Class BaseObject
End Class
Public MustInherit Class BaseObjectList(Of T As {New, BaseObject})
Inherits List(Of T)
End Class[code]...........
i receive: "Type argument BaseObject is declared 'MustInherit' and does not satisfy the 'New' constraint for the type parameter"users would never enter data in the wrong form,files they choose to open would always exist and code would never have bugs.

explain to me the differences between an abstract class and a class marked MustInherit?
Both can implement shared and instance constructors and logic. Both can/must be inherited.
So why use one over the other and what is the difference?
Edit: Sincerely apologize I have got my languages mixed up. Will mark correct answer as soon as I am allowed.

I am struggling to get inheritance to work in the way that I understand it is supposed to work.I want to create a base class that uses MustInherit. It will have properties. The derived class should have access to those properties. But how do I get and set property values for an instance of the derived class?
So I have Public MustInherit Class Baseperson
Private _Name Public Property Name as string
[Code]...
But this does not provide encapsulation of the property so it would not seem to be a good solution.
I see various documentation on MSDN that talks about "abstract" classes having properties but I don't see how to make it work.

What is the difference between a class with protected constructors and a class marked as MustInherit? (I'm programming in VB.Net but it probably equally applies to c#). The reason I ask is because I have an abstract class that I want to convert the constructors to shared/static methods. (To add some constraints). I can't do this because it's not possible to create an instance in the shared function.

I have an interface class (IUser) which is the interface of class User. Now, i want to put these into an IList but am confused as to how i should declare the IList:Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of IUser) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of IUser) when instantiating should you always use its implementation; and when using it as a type use its interface?
And when im creating a new user should i use: Dim myUser as IUser = new User?

I'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.

I need to create unit testing project for my current website. The currentw ebsite si written in VB. All unit testing examples are using interface to create mock object. My current VB class does not implment any interface. Can I add interface and implement it to my current class and functions without affecting or changing codes to any pages in my website that call the functions? For examples my current class is like:

I'm making a custom class that mocks the System.Drawing.Rectangle class because the Rectangle class doesn't have a name property. I need a name property because I am adding all of my rectangles to a collection and I need a little more info stored than just their locale and size. So I changed the _onPaint event but nothing is working out when I run the program?
Public Class Rectanglar : Inherits UserControl
Public BackgroundColor As Color = Color.Blue
Public Sub New(ByVal name As String, ByVal XY As Point, ByVal Widthy As Integer, ByVal Heighty As Integer)

I am trying to create a class in VB.NET which inherits a base abstract class and also implements an interface. The interface declares a string property called Description. The base class contains a string property called Description. The main class inherits the base class and implements the interface. The existence of the Description property in the base class fulfills the interface requirements. This works fine in C# but causes issues in VB.NET.

I'm looking at a VB.NET class (that I didn't write) that is declared "MustInherit" (abstract in C#, I believe) that has three methods, all of which are defined as "shared" (static in C#). There are no properties or fields in the class - only the three methods. From an OO perspective, does this make any sense?
My thinking is no, because by making it MustInherit, you're essentially saying you can't create an instance of this class - you must inherit from it and create an instance of the derived class. But since all the methods are shared, you'll never actually create an instance of the parent class anyway, so the "MustInherit" does no good. You might as well not mark it MustInherit and just inherit from it whenever you want.

I'm struggling to convert the below code to C#.
Class Class1
Implements IMyInterface
Public Event MyEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MyEventArgs) Implements IMyInterface.MyEvent
[Code]....
I'm sure I can find out what to replace the NotImplementedException parts with but VS is still telling me that the definition is not implemented anyway.

How can I convert following code to VB.NET?
class A
{
public int NumberA { get; set; }
}
[code]....
In VB.NET there is problem with Implements keyword after property declaration. So I need to do something like this:
Class B
Inherits A
Implements IC
[code]....
But there is duplicit misleading property NumberA1.

When attempting to create a UserControl type that must be inherited, when I try to edit one of its child classes in the Form Designer, I am not allowed to edit the child UserControl with the message:
To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:
1 Error
The designer must create an instance of type "XX_ExpandContentsPanel2.IOCardMaster", but it cannot because the type is declared as abstract.
This error goes away if I remove the "MustInherit" restriction.Is there some way around this or do I just have to accept the (bonkers-mad) restriction, and not declare my class as as MustInherit, even though it's not a useful control in its own right?

I understand that inherited classes can't be converted from base classes. But is there any way to write a conversion sub, so that the base class gets assigned to MyBase, then extra properties are added?[code]...

This may seem like an obvious answer, but I can't seem to find an answer. I have this code in VB.NET[code]...
The problem with this is that in C#, it would seem you have to name the function the same as the interface function you are implementing. How can I call this method EncryptionVB instead of Encryption, but still implement the Encryption property?

I have a class which has a variety of details, as follows:
Vehicle Name
Vehicle Address
VEHICLE Percentage: 10
I need to somehow use an Interface for another version, SpecialVehicle.
Special Vehicle has a different Percentage, for example 15.
How can I integrate that in an interface? I just don't understand them?

I am working on a plugin architecture and after some reading I have settled on one. The host class will be implemented in C# as well as some of the plugins for that host. The issue I am having is that some of my team uses VB.net. So the question, is it possible to implement a C# (plugin)interface in VB, such that when it is dynamically loaded into the host program it will have the methods required by the interface.

I've got a web user control (.ascx) which implements a couple of interfaces I wrote; namely IXMLBoundControl and ISectionOverridingControl.I've written a mini-CMS type application that dynamically loads controls onto the page based on information in a database. When I click a button on a web page (.aspx), I want to look at all the controls on that page, and determine if there is a control which implements the ISectionOverridingControl.
I've got my loop and I'm looping through the controls; that's fine. However I'm not sure what the best way is to determine whether or not the control implements the interface. What I'm doing at the moment (and works) is to try to cast each control into the ISectionOverridingControl and catching InvalidCastException: If I don't get the catch; I consider it's worked. If the exception is thrown then it doesn't implement the interface.
It's working, however, I consider this inefficient (relying on exceptions): surely there's a better way in VB.NET (I've seen an example in C# but it didn't convert to VB) to tell whether an instance of a class implements an interface or not?

Since interface provides 100% abstraction over its members then why we are allowed to define a class inside an interface? We can define class inside interface, even instantiate it and call its members ,why? I am not getting the clear picture over this .Why this is allowed and what can be its implication or benefit.[code]

I have one interface that contains four functions. I have about 20 classes that implement this interface. Throughout each class, I see a lot of duplicate code, for example, there are constants declared at the beginning that are in every class. The method implementations (logic) of the interface are mostly the same.It contains duplicate structures. Is this a case where I can eliminate a lot of duplicate classes by implementing an abstract class instead of an interface. What I am striving for is too be able to put common methods from the abstract class as non-abstract methods and then methods that need their own implementation would be marked over-ridable. Can I put consts and structures in abstract classes? If so, that would eliminate a lot of duplicate code across the classes. Is there anything else I should look out for in the classes as a sign that I probably should be use an abstract class instead of an interface.

I'd like to make sure each of the subclasses has a certain nested class whose actual fields are up to the developer.
Nesting an abstract class inside the base abs. class doesn't seem to do the trick because during actual coding, both the nested abs. class and the nested class in the subclass both are available (show up in intellisense).
Having the base class implement an interface that includes a class doesn't work since interfaces only refer to methods that can be implemented, not classes (meaning implementing the interface requires implements methods, but says nothing about classes in the interface.

I am reading a book (ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008: Problem Design Solution, WROX)The source code is written in C#, but I am a VB guy, so I am giving it a try. Somewhere in the 2nd chapter, there is a Linq to Sql file used that is generated by drag&dropping the DB tables from the Database Explorer. Because some tables have the same type of fields, there is an interface generated called IENTBaseEntity. The writer says its a good practice to implement this interface in another partial class (not the designer.vb file!). The reason for this is that when the LinqToSql file is modified (and regenerated) the changes wont be lost.
In C# this solution is easy to do (i think), but in VB.Net I get an error, because the concerning properties in the LinqToSql file do not append the 'Implement IENTBaseEntity.Property' line. When I press [Enter] after the interface implementation line, VS generates other properties like this
Partial Public Class ENTUserAccount
Implements IENTBaseEntity '--->This line results in the error
' This is not the way it should be
Public Property InsertDate1() As Date Implements IENTBaseEntity.InsertDate
Get
End Get
