c# and VB.NET's Implements

john_farrellus

I understand how to inherit an interface in C#, but how can you change the method name of that interface? What I would like to do is exactly like the implements keyword in VB.NET, if given the VB.NET Class: Public Class Class1 Implements IDisposable ' The Implements keyword here tells the framework to use the method below for Dispose. Public Sub TrashIt() Implements System.IDisposable.Dispose End Sub ' How do you get that to work in C#? Use a strange name for something like this? Is there anyway to to do that in C#? John...

Technically, that is not an overload. Overloads are entities with the same name, but different signatures.

That's what I figured. I just wrote an overload and my problem is solved. Thanks for the response. John......

C# doesn't do per-method implementation. If your class implements IDisposable, it must have a method called .Dispose(). If you wanted, you could write a TrashIt() function that would do nothing but call the .Dispose method. Aside from that, you cannot change the name of an implemented method.
