20.3 Fully qualified interface member names

An interface member is sometimes referred to by its fully qualified name.
The fully qualified name of an
interface member consists of the name of the interface in which the member
is declared, followed by a dot,
followed by the name of the member. The fully qualified name of a member
references the interface in which the
member is declared. [Example: For example, given the declarations
C# LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION
284
interface IControl
{
void Paint();
}
interface ITextBox: IControl
{
void SetText(string text);
}
the fully qualified name of Paint is IControl.Paint and the fully qualified
name of SetText is
ITextBox.SetText. In the example above, it is not possible to refer to
Paint as ITextBox.Paint. end
example]
When an interface is part of a namespace, the fully qualified name of an
interface member includes the
namespace name. [Example: For example
namespace System
{
public interface ICloneable
{
object Clone();
}
}
Here, the fully qualified name of the Clone method is
System.ICloneable.Clone. end example]
