.net framework interface implementation

[chan]

Hi,

I created a class that implements the
System.Collections.IDictionary interface and I declared
methods for implementing IDictionary, and also the
interfaces it inherited from, include ICollection and
IEnumerable.

I have problem in compiling my class and the C# compiler
complained about the method GetEnumerator(), which has
been implemented twice. I looked at the interfaces again
and found that both IEnumerable and IDictionary have this
method declared and I had both implemented. The one
declared in IEnumerable is :

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator();

and the one declared in IDictionary is:

public IDictionaryEnumerator GetEnumerator();

I tried to remove the IEnumerable.GetEnumerator
implementation but then the C# complains on the
incomplete implementation of the interface. Of course
same thing happened when I tried to remove the
IDictionary.GetEnumerator implementation. Therefore I
could remove neither of them.

I believe this could be a simple issue but I just don't
know how to resolve this problem. Any help out there is
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

IDictionaryEnumerator IDictionary.GetEnumerator()
{
......
}
IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
{
........
}

anyway, you have to cast to the specific interface on use.
