I am writing a library and I want to have an interface
public interface ISkeleton
{
IEnumerable<IBone> Bones { get; }
void Attach(IBone bone);
void Detach(IBone bone);
}
The Attach() and Detach() implementation actually should be the same for every ISkeleton. Thus, it could essentially be:
public abstract class Skeleton
{
public IEnumerable<IBone> Bones { get { return _mBones; } }
public List<IBone> _mBones = new List<IBone>();
public void Attach(IBone bone)
{
bone.Transformation.ToLocal(this);
_mBones.add();
}
public void Detach(IBone bone)
{
bone.Transformation.ToWorld(this);
_mBones.Remove(bone);
}
}
But C# doesn't allow multiple inheritance. So among various issues, users have to remember to inherit from Skeleton every time they want to implement Skeleton.
I could use extension methods
public static class Skeleton
{
public static void Attach(this ISkeleton skeleton, IBone bone)
{
bone.Transformation.ToLocal(skeleton);
skeleton.Bones.add(bone);
}
public static void Detach(this ISkeleton skeleton, IBone bone)
{
bone.Transformation.ToWorld(this);
skeleton.Bones.Remove(bone);
}
}
But then I need to have
public interface ISkeleton
{
ICollection<IBone> Bones { get; }
}
Which I do not want, because it is not covariant and users can bypass the Attach() and Detach() methods.
QUESTION: Must I really use an abstract Skeleton class or are there any or tricks and methods?
