Implementing an interface declared in C# from C++/CLI - c++-cli

Question

Say I have a C# interface called IMyInterface defined as follows:
// C# code
public interface IMyInterface
{
void Foo(string value);
string MyProperty { get; }
}
Assume I also have a C++/CLI class, MyConcreteClass, that implements this interface and whose header is declared as follows:
// C++/CLI header file
ref class MyConcreteClass : IMyInterface
{
public:
};
How does one implement the method Foo and the property MyProperty in the C++/CLI header?
My attempt results in the following compile error:
error C3766: 'MyConcreteClass' must
provide an implementation for the
interface method 'void
IMyInterface::Foo(System::String^
value)'

Answer 1

public ref class MyConcreteClass : public IMyInterface
{
public:
virtual void __clrcall Foo(String^ value) sealed;
virtual property String^ __clrcall MyProperty
{ String^ get() sealed { String::Empty; } }
};
Interfaces need to be defined as virtual. Also note the "public IMy.." after the class decleration, it's a slighly different syntax than C#.
If you can, seal the interface members to improve performance, the compiler will be able to bind these methods more tightly than a typical virtual members.
Hope that helps ;)
I did not compile it but looks good to me... Oh and also, defining your methods as __clrcall eliminates dangers of double thunk performance penalties.
edit
the correct syntax for a property is:
public ref class MyConcreteClass : public IMyInterface
{
public:
virtual property String^ MyProperty
{
String^ get() sealed { return String::Empty; };
void set( String^ s ) sealed { };
}
};
or, when putting the definition in the source file:
public ref class MyConcreteClass : public IMyInterface
{
public:
virtual property String^ MyProperty
{
String^ get() sealed;
void set( String^ s ) sealed;
}
};
String^ MyConcreteClass::MyProperty::get()
{
return String::Empty;
}
void MyConcreteClass::MyProperty::set( String^ )
{
//...
}
