Interfaces, What am I missing?

[John Baro]

If I have a class that implements IList.
This puts all the add / remove etc.. methods in but they are all private as
in
int IList.Add(object value)

This is a problem because I want it to be public but when I try public it
says

Modifier public not valid for item.

What am I missing?

Change it to

public int Add(object value)

Thanks Michael
I presume you can still cast it back to IList after doing this.
Ill try it.
Yep.
Excellent

On an interface you don't get to decide accessibility; the fact that a
member is part of an interface means, by definition, that that member is
'visible' if you have a reference to an implementer of that interface.

If it's defined as IList.Add then it can only be accessed through an variable of type IList. If you use Public Add then it is
accessible through a variable of type IList or of the type of your class.

Me too. Did you know somehow?
