"Querying" interfaces

Hi,
With COM, I was able to create an object supporting
various interfaces, and by overloading QueryInterface
to decide at runtime if the interface beeing queried was
actually available (given the current state of the object)
or not.
Is there such a possibility with managed .net classes
derived from several interfaces ? Is there some way to
make a dynamic_cast fail ?

If you implemented such "dynamic" COM objects, you have violated following
rule of COM interfaces:

"The set of interfaces accessible on an object through
IUnknown::Query Interface must be static, not dynamic. This means that if a
call to QueryInterface for a pointer to a specified interface succeeds the
first time, it must succeed again, and if it fails the first time, it must
fail on all subsequent queries."

(Platform SDK: COM, IUnknown::Query Interface)
Is there such a possibility with managed .net classes
derived from several interfaces ? Is there some way to
make a dynamic_cast fail ?


To derive such dynamic behaviour, IServiceProvide r interface is usually
implemented.

P.S.: COM also has it's own IServiceProvide r interface.

IE7 returns "unknown" instead of "undefined" when querying the type of an unknown property of an object, for example document.write(typeof window.missingproperty); Has "unknown" been defined as a valid return value for the typeof operator in a later version of ECMAScript or is this a JScript "feature"? -- Klaus Johannes Rusch
