Classes and structs can inherit from interfaces just like how classes can inherit a base class or struct. However there are 2 differences.
1. A class or a struct can inherit from more than one interface at the same time where as A class or a struct cannot inherit from more than one class at the same time. An example depicting the same is shown below.
using System;
namespace Interfaces
{
interface Interface1
{
void Interface1Method();
}
interface Interface2
{
void Interface2Method();
}
class BaseClass1
{
public void BaseClass1Method()
{
Console.WriteLine("BaseClass1 Method");
}
}
class BaseClass2
{
public void BaseClass2Method()
{
Console.WriteLine("BaseClass2 Method");
}
}
//Error : A class cannot inherit from more than one class at the same time
//class DerivedClass : BaseClass1, BaseClass2
//{
//}
//A class can inherit from more than one interface at the same time
public class Demo : Interface1, Interface2
{
public void Interface1Method()
{
Console.WriteLine("Interface1 Method");
}
public void Interface2Method()
{
Console.WriteLine("Interface2 Method");
}
public static void Main()
{
Demo DemoObject = new Demo();
DemoObject.Interface1Method();
DemoObject.Interface2Method();
}
}
}
2. When a class or struct inherits an interface, it inherits only the method names and signatures, because the interface itself contains no implementations.

}
public static void Main()
{
Demo DemoObject = new Demo();
DemoObject.Interface1Method();
DemoObject.Interface2Method();
}
}
}
