alternative to multiple inheritance in c++

Suppose i have two classes A and B:

class A
{

public method_a();

}

class B
{

public method_b();
}

if i want to have multiple inheritance in c# like C++ so i can have
access to both methods:

class C : public A,B
{

public method_c();
}

HOw can i achive that in c#?

You just can't. In general, prefer composition to inheritance - so
class C would have an instance of A and an instance of B as member
variables.

Note that although .NET has no multiple inheritance of implementation,
you can implement multiple interfaces.

I would recommend changing A & B both into interfaces IA and IB. Or
you may also let B inherit A and let C inherit B.

Since nobody responded to my earlier post , I thought I would try to explain what I am doing a bit differently. When multiply inheriting pure virtual (abstract) base classes, a class obviously bloats quickly for each new vtable needed. Execution slows down considerably as well. You can work around this by using interfaces referemnces which have a pointer to the object and a pointer to an external function lookup table. This technique...

It seems no pattern defined by GoF takes advantage of multiple inheritance. I am wondering if there is a situation where multiple inheritance is a necessary solution. When coding in C++, should multiple inheritance still be avoided? If yes, why multiple inheritance is introducted into C++?

I have a control called MyPanel that inherits from Panel. Also a control called MyRTB that inherits from RichTextBox. They are used on a form as follows: MyPanel in on the form and MyRTF is placed in MyPanel. I do this so that the properties of MyRTF and of MyPanel are available to the form.

I just read a blurb in MSDN under the C++ "ref" keyword which states that: "Under the CLR object model, only public single inheritance is supported". Does this mean that no .NET class can ever support multiple inheritance. In C++ for instance I noticed that the compiler flags an error if you use the "ref" keyword on a class with multiple base classes. This supports the above quote. However, under the "CodeClass2.Bases" property (part...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
