Question on BindingSource and Explicit Interface Properties

In an application I have an interface with methods and properties. The
interface is used on a Class (ie class MyClass : IMyClassA, IMyClassB). On a
windows form I define a BindingSource (_bindingMyClas s) where I set the
DataSource property to the interface IMyClass.

Now when the MyClass object is instantiated I set the BindingSource to the
instance of the IMyClass interface (_MyClass)

_bindingMyClass .DataSource = this._MyClass;

If the implement of the MYClass class uses expliciit interface
specifications for the properties, I get and ArgumentExcepti on on the above
code setting the DataSource.

If the implementation of the MYClass IMyClass interface specification are
not explicit, the above line works.

My question is why? I thought the only difference between an explicit
interface and an "standard" interface is to allow a class to have more than
one interface specified and have each interface implementation be unique.

Thanks,

JM,

I'm not surprized. The binding is looking at the publically accessible
members on the implementation type, not the interfaces that it implements.
The reason it works when you use implicit interface implementation is
because you have to declare those members as public for the implementation
to be performed.

I thought that you it is forbidden to create an instance of an interface. But a help example (search for Explicit Interface Implementation Sample) from visual studio has the following sample code: // Declare an instance of the English units interface: IEnglishDimensions eDimensions = (IEnglishDimensions) myBox; // Declare an instance of the metric units interface: IMetricDimensions mDimensions = (IMetricDimensions) myBox;

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,...
