IDE - support for use of interfaces

Hi!

When I want to implement a new class on base of an existing interface I
always have to switch between window of new class and the interface
definition.

Is there an easier way? Any support by IDE?
E.g. a command to add all required methods/properties to the class as soon
as there is a reference to an interface?

Thanks!

That is standard functionality in VS. As soon as I finish typing
the ": IInterface", VS shows a message "press TAB to add methods".

But: that interface should be known to your new class. If your interface
is in a different project, you should have built that and referenced
in the project of the new class. Also you need either a "using"
clause or use a namespace path, so VS has a chance to know what you mean.

If you *change* the interface, you have to change the class by hand
(AFAIK).

Hello Frank,

Hans's method works. I also wanted to let you know that JetBrains also makes
a tool called ReSharper [1], which provides a lot of IDE usability enhancements
such as easier interface implementations and overriding.

I know that Office XP provides a PIA (Primary Interoperabiltiy Assembly) so that C# and VB.NET Applications can call into the Office COM based interfaces.

When Automating Office Applications might as...

It seems that all of the interfaces, such as IDataObject etc. from basic OLE are no longer supported in .NET, although they are implemented (differently). I have an OLE object type and am having to make lots of detours and compromises (and, to be frank, hacks) to get my .NET code to work with it. For example, because I can't get an IDataObject interface from my basic OLE object (even though it implements IDataObject), I'm having to write...

In 2004 (approximately) MS Tech support explained that while there was limited support for native mode Active X controls in a few cases (like IE), ActiveX controls should be all native code (especially for MS Office). Has this change with VS2005? Does MSOffice Support ActiveX controls written in J#, C# and Javascript.net? Thanks, Siegfried

When using createEvent, an eventType parameter must be provided as an argument. This can be one of those specified in DOM 2 or 3 Events, or it might be a proprietary eventType. My problem is testing for support of particular eventTypes - the DOM 2 Events Interface DocumentEvent says that if the eventType is not supported, it throws a DOM exception. This makes testing rather tough - if you try something like: if (document &&...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
