.NET Framework Interfaces
Interfaces define a common set of functionality which all classes that implement the interface must provide. For the purposes of the training course, six framework interfaces are relevant:
| IDisposable | Free up (primarily unmanaged) resources which a class instance is responsible for. This article describes how to correctly implement IDisposable. |
| IConvertable | Convert the implementer’s value into a CLR type |
| ICloneable | Create a new instance of a class based on an existing one. This is now deprecated because it was unclear whether it meant deep or shallow copy, as suggested by Eric Lippert here. |
| IComparable | Implemented by types which can be sorted based on a single method, CompareTo. This determines whether objects are greater or less than each other. |
| IEquatable | Determine whether implementing class instances are equal |
| IFormattable | Convert the implementer’s value into a formatted string. Useful in conjunction with System.Globalization.CultureInfo |
