Goals

There are four types of goals:

1. Topic goal: immediate goal at hand
2. Relational goal: how I want to compare with the other person
3. Identity goal: how I want myself to look like
4. Process goal: what process I want to take in achieving my goal

Status

Progress is luxuries turning into needs.

True Love

Sometimes I feel "true love" doesn't exist. The ones seen are only in favorable circumstances, or are a forced continuation of simulation due to stubbornness.

Relationship & Misunderstanding

No relationship is invulnerable to misunderstanding.

Ambition

Never disclose your ambitions to those who have a habit of choosing it for others.

Value of Time

You only need to know the value of time in order not to pay for it!

Victory & Failure

Victory should come as a joy, but failure mustn't come as a shock!

Smartness

Nothing is smarter than learning from other people's mistakes.

Life & Death

Life is the beginning of Death. Death is the beginning of Life.

Advertising

While the fundamental intent of advertising was recognition, it continues to be deception.

Events versus Methods

I found it interesting how events and methods compare.
A class can be viewed from the perspective of the provider or the consumer.

Provider (designer of the class)

• Implements methods
• Invokes events

Consumer (user of the class)

• Implements events
• Invokes methods

Shattered Dreams

Shattered dreams! I'd never sort it out.

I'd never thought it would happen in my life.

Feeling sorry, wouldn't set it right,
Can't see how to make it by myself.

Then Jesus called me, "Come in here, oh my child. I've been waiting here for you for so long, to make up your mind."

And then He told me, "Now I give you peace of mind."

Oh what joy! Oh what peace! I cannot describe!

A time will come and I'd receive eternal life.
I'd never thought it would happen in my life.

Golden Rule

Rules are made with a goal in mind
Not the goal with rule
Rules just help achieve a goal
So do exceptions to the rule


Rules just play an intermediary role
Even dominate the scene
But follow rules at the cost of goal
And forget you'll ever win

Multiple Inheritance in C#

“Does C# support multiple inheritance?” is a question we have all come across at some time or the other. And the standard answer to it is "No", or “Yes, using interfaces”. That’s where it usually stops.

However, let me challenge you again with “How?”

Typically inheritance would mean the following:

· The derived class Inherits the members of the base class along with the implementation

· It can override one or more of them

· The base class can be substituted for the derived class

If these conditions are fulfilled, we can safely say there is simulated inheritance. In case of multiple inheritances the same some should hold true of the derived class for each of the base classes.

Can interfaces help us achieve these? Let us find out.

I guess an example would be in order.

Let us take three classes which are defined as follows:

At this point, since we already Alarm and Watch classes defined, wouldn’t it be a good idea to be able to inherit them into the CellPhone class?

Since C# doesn’t allow us the luxury of declaring
  CellPhone: Alarm, Watch
...we have to find an alternative, that is interfaces.

By the way, did you know that it is possible to re-factor a class in Visual Studio to automatically extract an interface?

Now our classes look like this.

We should now implement the interfaces in CellPhone which now becomes…

In the CellPhone class we used the Alarm and Watch classes to implement the interfaces for us.

Let us see whether we have achieved (read simulated) inheritance for both Alarm and Watch classes.

- The derived class CellPhone Inherits the members of both the base classes Alarm and Watch along with the implementation

- It is possible to override any of members of IAlarm and IWatch in the CellPhone class

- The base classes (interfaces in this case) IAlarm and IWatch can be substituted for the derived class

There! We have achieved (read simulated) multiple inheritance!

P.S. A lot of comments indicated that this is not inheritance. Yes, I agree. That is the very reason this blog was created to help developers simulate it artificially using interfaces.
