public interface Myinterface { TKey Id { get; } string UserName { get; set; } } but i am not getting what is purpose of writing like above OK. As per the code, you are trying to create "Generic Interface". For generic type parameters, the out keyword specifies that the type parameter is covariant. You can use the out keyword in generic interfaces and delegates. Below urls are give a detailed lookup int these topics: Generic Interface: http://www.functionx.com/csharp/interfaces/cugi.htm Covariant interface: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469487.aspx Contravarient interface: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469484.aspx Hope this helps!

Hi, Interface is mainly used for declaration purpose.Abstract is mainly used for modification.Abstract is faster than Interface but Multiple Inheritence we need Interface.

Hello Ravi, No, The type is used only as a return type of interface methods and not used as a type of method arguments.

Hello Ravi, An interface looks like a class, but has no implementation. The only thing it contains are declarations of events , indexers , methods and/or properties . The reason interfaces only provide declarations is because they are inherited by classes and structs , which must provide an implementation for each interface member declared. more details check out below links http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/sekarbalag/interface-best-example-in-csharp/ http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18743/Interfaces-in-C-For-Beginners http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial/CSharp/Lesson13
