Static methods in VB.NET Intafaces?

I read that it is possble to actually have method implementation code
in the declaration of VB.NET Interfaces so that it doesn't have to be
re-written in the classes that Implement the Interface. However, I
couldn't find an example. Could someone post a simple example?

thanks

Hi James

Interfaces cannot contain code. If you have a method that you want to
implement only once, declare it as MustOverride. Then implement the
interface in a base class that you inherit from for all other cases.

Why not create a 'MustInherit' class that provides the implementations?
