Extension methods on Interfaces C# with Example



Extension methods on Interfaces C# with Example

One useful feature of extension methods is that you can create common methods for an interface. Normally an 
interface cannot have shared implementations, but with extension methods they can. 
public interface IVehicle 
{ 
int MilesDriven { get; set; } 
} 
public static class Extensions 
{ 
public static int FeetDriven(this IVehicle vehicle) 
{ 
return vehicle.MilesDriven * 5028; 
} 
} 
 

In this example, the method FeetDriven can be used on any IVehicle. This logic in this method would apply to all 
IVehicles, so it can be done this way so that there doesn't have to be a FeetDriven in the IVehicle definition 
which would be implemented the same way for all children.
