Re: implement

J-L submitted this idea :
HI,

I don't find the method ro detect if a class implement an interface.

I try

if (MyObject implements MyInterface)

but it doesn't work.

if (MyObject is MyInterface)

work. Is it the only method to do that ?

J-L
the "is" operator works with both interfaces and (base)classes.
Basically it's "can I treat 'MyObject' as a 'MyInterface'".

A different way would be the "as" operator, which tries a cast but
gives a 'null' if it didn't work:
MyInterface mi = MyObject as MyInterface;
if (mi != null) ...

And if you really want to, you could also use reflection.

This is going to seem like a basic OO question, but it comes up and bites me every now and again. Suppose we have a multi-tiered protocol to implement, what is the logical, OO way to design the handler? For example, let's say that we have to implement the ISO 7-layer protocol, or something like an Allen-Bradley master-slave protocol. At the lowest layer we might only need to top and tail the data being transported, such as DLE STX DLE...

Greetings, I got a class that wraps the System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection class (no COM interaction). I'm not sure if I'm supposed to implement the IDisposable pattern for this wrapper or not. Since one of it's members (SqlConnection) implements this interface, I'm thinking maybe I ought to. But on the other hand, those unmanaged resources has already been wrapped in the SqlConnection class... If so, how would my Dispose method look...

Sorry, forgot to cross post this one.. This is rather unusual as we would expect any Collection class to implement ICollection interface and furthermore a Dictionary class should implement IDictionary interface. The StringDictionary class does implements all the methods of ICollection and IDictionary yet it does not list these interfaces. Am I missing something here or was it an oversight on the part of the class developer. Maybe I have...

I want to copy a parent class instance's all datas to a child's. It's actually a C++'s copy constructor. But why the following code does not work - there is a compile error! How it should look like? (The background is I don't know (I don't care indeed) all members in DataGrid, so I don't want to copy all members in DataGrid one by one.) public class GridEx : DataGrid { public GridEx()

I have a VB.NET interface that my managed C++ code is to implement. I seem to be stuck implementing an event defined in that interface. Does anyone have a simple code snippet that will show me the basics of what I need to implement? I've seen all the MSDN articles on implementing events in managed C++ and I've gotten events to work without issue when implementing all the constructs

I have a webservice that I wanted to return an ArrayList..Well the service compiles and runs when I have the output defined as ArrayList, but the WSDL defines the output as an Object so I was having a problem in the calling program. I searched online and found suggestions that I return an Array instead so I modified my code (below) to return an Array instead of an ArrayList. Now I get the message when I try to run just my webservice...

I had a need recently to check if my subclasses properly implemented the desired interface and wished that I could use something like an abstract base class in python. After reading up on metaclass magic, I wrote the following module. It is mainly useful as a light weight tool to help programmers catch mistakes at definition time (e.g., forgetting to implement a method required by the given interface). This is handy when unit tests or...

Hello! Assume you have the following interface and classes shown below. It is said that a class must implement all the methods in the interface it inherits. Below we have class MyDerivedClass that inherits IMyInterface but MyDerivedClass doesn't implement method DoSomething() it inherits it from the base class MyBaseClass. So the statement that a class must implement all method in an interface that

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
