Multiple Inheritance

Question

HI all C# does't support multiple Inheritance - Reason is parent classes have the methods with the same name So while calling the parent class method from child class the child class is getting confusion to which parent class related method to invoke. Here my question is if i am the developer then i will be take care for not to have the same methods names in Parent classes. This time c# supports multiple inheritance please anyone explain the background reason why it is not supports multiple inheritance. Thanking you in advance.

I will concentrate my answer to this specific question: why it is (C#) not supports multiple inheritance Simply because it adds more complexity to the C# language while adds so less in terms of features so the language designers decided not to permit it. Moreover I think it will violet the SOLID principle of single responsibility.

Rakesh you should use 2 interfaces to keep both parent class methods. So through those interface you can use your both parent class methods in child class. For future also this design will be helpful for you.

HI Sujeet I have the Method1() Method2() in calss named ParentA and Method3() Method4() in calss named ParentB From different service providers. I need to access the all member functions which are existed in both parent classes in my child class. I need to use only one child class.

Hi Rakesh. If you do not want to using same method name then what will be the benefit to allow two or more parents.
