Any good reason for NOT using interface?

[Marius Horak]

Then your interface is not designed well.

It's not my interface. Guys who wrote it had no OOP experience at all. They
bought a number of books and wrote the system.
Now they left and I have to fix it.

As a guideline, your interface should not contain a lot of methods and

each method should be logically consistent with the others.

You mean 12 methods in an interface are too many?
What about 37?!!!

How would you solve this problem without interfaces?
Inheritance.


Having this experience I will never use interface in my code.

Rather odd. Perhaps you are using interfaces where you shouldn't. Have you

thought about that?

Of course. It's why we are having this fun. Never used, very unlikely I will
ever use.

You know you really are the most obnoxious poster I've ever seen on this
newsgroup? Especially since I don't think you're actually trying to be a
troll!

Anyway, not long now, its quarter to five.

Inheritance.

You'd have to be able to inherit from multiple abstract classes, which of
course you can't in C#, to accomplish the same thing.

OK,

fun

The fun of asking a stupid question then, when someone replies blatantly
hinting, for _your_ own benefit, that you qualify your question, blast
him and everyone else too?

I wouldn't call that fun.

is over.
Bye!

Go back to work (I mean you, I'm going home, it's after 16:00).

Your attitude is awful.

Ok, I see.

Ouch.


Inheritance.

But what did you solve then? Your problem stays. You will have to refactor.

I see your point.

My background is Delphi (8 years)

I remember Turbo Pascal on Z80 CP/M machines.

where polymorphism realy does not exist.

That's nonsense.
