so i currently have
class general
private list as List(Of string)
public overridable function getprivateList as <not sure what to put>
return list
end function
end class
class specific inherits general
private list as List(Of listofstrings)
end class
but I cannot figure out what to use as an interface . so that the method getprivateList is able to return both variations of list, depending on the class of implementation.
You could return IEnumerable
, ICollection
, or IList
. IEnumerable
has the least functionality and IList
has the most.
Class General
Private list As List(Of String)
Public Overridable Function GetPrivateList() As IList
Return list
End Function
End Class
Class Specific
Inherits General
Private list As List(Of Integer)
End Class
Alternatively, you could define your base class as a generic class which takes the type of list item:
Class General(Of T)
Private list As List(Of T)
Public Overridable Function GetPrivateList() As List(Of T)
Return list
End Function
End Class
Class Specific
Inherits General(Of Integer)
End Class
