C# does not support mutliple inheritance, Using interface we can achieve it.

Hi, check below article for more clarification. http://net-informations.com/faq/general/inheritance.htm But C# does not support multiple class inheritance. To overcome this problem, we use interfaces to achieve multiple class inheritance.

It is not supported, and actually you don't need it. You can fix it with Interfaces easily.

C# does not support multiple inheritance. In C#, the classes are only allowed to inherit from a single parent class, which is called single inheritance. But multiple Inheritance can be achieved in C# using Interfaces.

Hi Dpk, Multiple Inheritance isn’t supported in C#. To implement multiple inheritances, use Interfaces . The reason behind this is: Multiple inheritances add too much complexity with little benefit. There are huge chances of a conflicting base class member. For example, if there is a method calculate() in two base classes and both are doing different calculations. What happened if the user calls calculate() in the child class? Which method will work? Inheritance with Interface provides the same job of multiple inheritances. Multiple Inheritance injects a lot of burden into implementation and it causes slow program execution.
