Recommendations for Abstract Classes vs. Interfaces[^]

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rick Cook

Interface :

(1) For supporting the mutiple inheritence
(2) For initialize runtime objects
(3) For implementing group of methos

Abstract Class :
When you maintain the Base lass standard, You can use Abstract class.

No, .NET does not support MI. We use interfaces to support polymorphism.

Dear i know .Net does not support multiple inheritence but u can implement mutiple inheritence with the help of Interface

No, you can't. You're thinking that "multiple inheritance" is the same as "multiple interfaces". It is not. Multiple interfaces are a synonym of something called "polymorphism", but polymorphism is a mere requirement for multiple inheritance, which does a lot more than polymorphism.

Difference between Abstract classes and Interface
Little background:
A real world entity is represented in an OOP world as object. Objects are defined as classes any language.
A class defines objects in two aspects
Object's characteristics - Data Members
Object's functionality - Member functions

So, when the classes that are forced to provide implementations of the functions prototypes that are defined in either ‘interfaces’ or a ‘abstract class’ are not belonging to the same family (having some inherited parental characteristics from same parent directly or indirectly) but are rather related through some functionalities then 100% we will go with interface and if above said classes are belonging to same family then we should go with abstract class inheritance.
Also in case of inheritance as everything is a specialization of base parent object so there is allowance of providing some default definitions of the functions that are needed to be implemented further by specialized classes. This is not any way allowed in interfaces because implementing classes are not belonging to same family and are not any way related by characteristics.

An Example:
We have four real world objects:
• Airplane
• Bird
• Sparrow
• Eagle

We have one method that is a functionality of all above objects
• Fly

Now all objects share common functionality flying in air but differ in the mechanism they use to fly.

Also by close look we see that in general there is some common characteristics (as well as some common functionalities) between Sparrow and Eagle that can be a part of common class Bird (that has to be abstract because there is no real thing like bird!). But any way Airplane can't be related to Bird or its specialized classes Sparrow and Eagle.

So if want to expose fly functionality to outer world and want their implementations in Airplane and Sparrow (or any bird), so I will 100% go for Interface and Abstract classes will be a big NO!

But if we exclude Airplane want that fly functionality is exposed to outer world and its implementing classes are Bird, Sparrow and Eagle then 'Abstract Classes' is the best of best choice.

Happy programming! Please feel free in writing to me for further clarifications on other OOP concepts (im.himanshu2006@gmail.com)

Hi all

I created a thead and textbox in a class and try to set value of textbox from another created thread.
But error comes that Resources held by main thread as TextBoxes are held by main thread. What to do in this case? Confused | :confused:

Take a look at this article here on CP: What's up with BeginInvoke?[^]

Only the main thread can update an item on a form.

Hi,

in .NET 1.x you could try it from another thread and it might work (most of the time),
or it could result in forms with a white menu bar on top (I'm sure you have seen these
already, even on non-.NET code).

in .NET 2.0 and up it gets rejected by default; you must set it up in such a way that
all controls get handled completely by the thread that created them, often called "the UI
thread" or "the main thread".

For some simple examples, look at either one of my articles.

I need to Mime encode a jpeg to stick it in a database that is normally used by an ASP app so it stores the MimeType and MimeString. I'm writing a winforms app. Everything I've found so far encodes into a mailmessage or http stream but I can't see a way of getting the data back out

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

Is there a way to detect that the pc monitor is going in standby mode in C# 2.0 with windows XP.

I have tried to detect WM_POWERBROADCAST and registerPowerNotifications (Vista only feature so it didn't work). Thanks for any suggestions .

When I was at the Detroit launch event in the developer track, the presenters said that their was no way to tell of different power setting changes in Windows XP. They did however mention the WM_POWERBROADCAST event for Windows Vista and how it could be used within gadgets/applications.

We need to validate an expression which contains all the arithematic operators, conditional operators, logical operators, grouping such as '()' and '{}'

For example:
A+B = 10 AND (B*C)/d = 56

Thanks in advance

This sounds very much like homework to me, but I might be wrong...

Hello Friends,

I want to implement socket client project.

I want only one server and any number of clients.

Please suggest me something which will work faster.

Is it possible to communicate on same port.

Please help me fast.

Thanks in Advance.

Faster than sockets? Everything will go through a Socket eventually so you are already at the lowest level of abstraction for an application. If you want to get really down and dirty you could write an NDIS driver and manipulate the packets directly as they pass through your network card.

I would like to suggest that sockets are probably not your problem. Perhaps they way you are interacting with sockets is the problem. Perhaps the protocol you invented to sit on top of TCP/IP is inefficient.

The client and server will have their own ports. The server will listen on the same port for all clients. What port the client receives data on can be the same or different. If one client machine can open several connections then the client will have to use several ports.
