how List<T> does not implement Add(object value)?
c#, c#-2.0, explicit-interface, interface
Solution
I believe that this (interface) method is implemented explicitly:
public class List<T> : IList
{
int IList.Add( object value ) {this.Add((T)value);}
}
By doing so, the `Add( object )` method will by hidden. You'll only able to call it, if you cast the `List<T>` instance back to an `IList` instance.
Problem
I believe it's pretty stupid, and I am a bit embarrassed to ask this kind of question, but I still could not find the answer: I am looking at the class `List<T>` , which implemetns `IList`. ``` public class List<T> : IList ``` one of the methods included in Ilist is ``` int Add(object value) ``` I understand that `List<T>` should not expose that method (type safety...), and it really does not. But how can it be? mustnt class implement the entire interface?
