Introduction
VB currently provides what is called explicit interface implementations; meaning when you implement an interface you must explicitly specify which methods, properties, etc. are going to handle the interface definition. Implicit interface implementations will attempt to infer the wiring between the interface and the class based on a set of predefined rules. This package will do this by creating a backing partial class that handles this wiring automatically for any methods, properties, etc. that can be implicitly aligned.
Requirements
- Visual Studio 2019 v16.10.0+
- VB
Getting Started
Once you have this in your project, you can enjoy explicit (what you have now) and implicit (what this provides) interface implementations!
Given the following interface:
Public Interface IPerson
Property Name As String
End Interface
You could create an employee class:
Public Class Employee
Implements IPerson
Public Property Name As String
End Class
Which results in Visual Studio seeing this as completely legal code because the generator automatically creates:
Public Partial Class Employee
Private Property IPerson_Name As String Implements IPerson.Name
Get
Return Name
End Get
Set(value As String)
Name = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
The implicit implementation follows these rules:
- If the interface is explicity defined, skip.
- A method will map to a similarly named method with matching param signature.
- A property will first attempt to map to a similarly named property with matching param signature.
- If a property can't be determined, will attempt to map to a similarly named field; but only if it doesn't have params.
If unable to determine a map, that mapping will not be generated; which results in Visual Studio notifying the user that the interface has not been defined.
Events
Events are not handled as I haven't figured out a way to not cause double raising of events by "wrapping" an event. So, for the time being, Events must be interfaced explicitly.
