Re: How's dot.net doing nowadays?


That said, though, I would agree with your basic premise. Then
again, I loved OOP almost from the moment I tried it. I just wish
VB6 had done a bit better of a job of it. Its stupid Implements
command truly doesn't count for anything in my books...it's
invariably been more trouble than it's worth in my experience.


I've gotten some serious mileage out of Implements, so I can't agree.

The main purpose is for processing a collection of things that aren't all the
same type. Polymorphism, if you are into labelling things. If I want to display
each item on a row of a grid, having an interface such as DisplayData, which
each one implements, makes the task easy, and more important, reliable. I can
add more types of objects, and the code still works as long as the new ones
implement that interface as well.
