Interfaces
Would someone please give me an example of real world use of interfaces.
Here is what is confusing me. Say I have one dll that has one class called
Messenger and one function called SendMessage. If I suspect that the
implementation of SendMessage may change should I include an interface
(IMessenger) into the dll that defines the SendMessage function? Then have
the class implement it? If I do then should a client call the dll like this:
....
IMessenger obj = new Messenger();
obj.SendMessage();
....
Now if I add a new class (Messenger2) to the dll that implements the
IMyClass interface with different implementation than MyClass, I will still
have to change all my client code to:
....
IMyClass obj = new Messenger2();
obj.SendMessage();
....
If I am using interfaces correctly I fail to see how they are useful. Any
help would be appreciated.
