Partial Interface in C#

Question

Does C# allows partial interface? i.e., in ManagerFactory1.cs class, I have

public partial interface IManagerFactory {     // Get Methods     ITescoManager GetTescoManager();     ITescoManager GetTescoManager(INHibernateSession session); } 

and in ManagerFactory.cs class, I have:

public partial interface IManagerFactory {     // Get Methods     IEmployeeManager GetEmployeeManager();     IEmployeeManager GetEmployeeManager(INHibernateSession session);     IProductManager GetProductManager();     IProductManager GetProductManager(INHibernateSession session);     IStoreManager GetStoreManager();     IStoreManager GetStoreManager(INHibernateSession session); } 

Both ManagerFactory and ManagerFactory1 are located in the same assembly.

Answer 1

The simplest way is just to try it :)

But yes, partial interfaces are allowed.

Valid locations for the partial modifier (with C# 3.0 spec references):

• Classes (10.1.2)
• Structs (11.1.2)
• Interfaces (13.1.2)
• Methods (C# 3.0+) (10.2.7; 10.6.8)

Section 10.2 of the spec contains most of the general details for partial types.

Invalid locations:

• Enums
• Delegates
