Interfaces

Interfaces - implements or derives from

An interface is a class that lacks implementation. The only thing it contains are definitions of events, indexers, methods and/or properties. The reason interfaces only provide definitions is because they are inherited by classes and structs, which must provide an implementation for each interface member defined. Since classes in c# can only be derived from one other class ( in c++ it is possible to derive from many) interfaces are used for multiple inheritance. Like abstract classes you cannot create an instance of an interface on derive from it.

You cannot create an instance of an interface.

Interfaces cannot contain any implementation.

Interfaces are basically a contract between classes. When a class implements an interface it is promising to implement the propery and method signature of that interface. This helps with abstraction and encurages polymorphism.

Anatomy of an aspx page

Console applications start executing in the main method

<csharp>public static void Main() {}</csharp>

The .Net Framework can also execute on the web. Rather than having a Main method a web page starts it's execution with a method called Page_Load

<csharp>public Page_Load { }</csharp>

There are actually several method that are exeuted in an aspx page.
