Mapped C# Class

A Slice local interface is mapped to a C# interface with the same name, for example:

Slice

module Ice
{
    local interface Communicator
    {
        ...
    }
}

is mapped to the C# interface Communicator:

C#

namespace Ice
{
    public partial interface Communicator
    {
        ...
    }
}

The delegate metadata allows you to map a local interface with a single operation to a C# delegate. For example:

Slice

module Ice
{
    ["delegate"] local interface ValueFactory
    {
        Value create(string type);
    }
}

is mapped to:

C#

namespace Ice
{
    public delegate Value ValueFactory(string type);
}

LocalObject in C#

All Slice local interfaces implicitly derive from LocalObject, which is mapped to System.Object in C#.

Mapping for Local Interface Inheritance in C#

Inheritance of local Slice interfaces is mapped to interface inheritance in C#. For example:

Slice

module M
{
    local interface A {}
    local interface B extends A {}
    local interface C extends A {}
    local interface D extends B, C {} 
}

is mapped to:

C#

namespace M
{
    public partial interface A {}
    public partial interface B : A {}
    public interface C : A {}
    public interface D : B, C {}
}
