An interface
is a reference type object with no implementation. You can think of it as an abstract class with
all the implementation stripped out and everything that is not public
removed. Abstract classes are classes
that can not be instantiated. No
properties or methods are actually coded in an interface, they are only
defined. So the interface doesn't
actually do anything but only has a signature for interaction with other
classes or interfaces. A good analogy
for an interface is a pencil and a pencil sharpener. When we talk of a pencil and a pencil
sharpener we generally know what they do and how they interact. We don't have
to know the inner workings of a particular sharpener or pencil, only how to use
them through their interface.
Example
public
interface IPencil
{
void
Write();
bool IsSharp
{ get; }
}
public
interface IPencilSharpener
{
void
Sharpen(IPencil pencil);
}
