Generic Interface Implementation in C# Orcas Beta 1

[=?Utf-8?B?RG9uYWxkIFhpZQ==?=]

In C# 2, this works just fine:

public class foo : IEnumerable<str ing>
{
private string[] _list;
public IEnumerator<str ingGetEnumerato r()
{
foreach (string s in _list)
yield return s;
}
}

However Orcas complains that:

'myNS.foo' does not implement interface member
'System.Collect ions.IEnumerabl e.GetEnumerator ()'. 'myNS.foo.GetEn umerator()'
cannot implement 'System.Collect ions.IEnumerabl e.GetEnumerator ()' because it
does not have the matching return type of 'System.Collect ions.IEnumerato r'.

It appears that I'll have to add an explicit non-generic interface
implementation to appease the compiler:

IEnumerator IEnumerable.Get Enumerator()
{
return GetEnumerator() ;
}

Just wondering whether this is a change in generics implementation or just a
bug in beta 1.

Cheers,
Don

ive just done a simple binary sorted tree class,
and was confused by this error too,
I ended up inheriting only the non generic collection class stuff
System.Collecti ons.CollectionB ase

not sure what the pros and cons are ...

Donald,

Nothing has changed, the same error comes up in C# 2.0, so it's not an
error in Orcas. This is what I get in C# 2.0:

Error 1 'foo' does not implement interface member
'System.Collect ions.IEnumerabl e.GetEnumerator ()'. 'foo.GetEnumera tor()' is
either static, not public, or has the wrong return type.

Re: Generic Interface Implementation in C# Orcas Beta 1

Hmm, I was using VS2005 SP1, which seems to be happy with this. What version
are you using?

Thanks,
Don

Re: Generic Interface Implementation in C# Orcas Beta 1

Thanks again Jon. Well I've just tried on my office PC with VS2..5 SP1, and I
get this error too!

I'll double check on my home PC when I get back tonight...

Cheers,
Don

Re: Generic Interface Implementation in C# Orcas Beta 1

Excuse me when I'm pulling my foot from my mouth - the error is on my home PC
as well. Now I'm wondering what I was doing yesterday...

At least this is consistent so I just have to use the workaround.

Thanks for setting me straight Jon ;-)

Cheers,
Don
