Question

Eclipse allows us to define a class as:

interface MyInterface {
    void methodA();
    int methodB();
}

class A : MyInterface {
    MyInterface myInterface;
}

and then with this “Generate delegate methods”, it will implement all needed methods for the interface, redirecting their logic to myInterface’s methods:

class A : MyInterface {
    MyInterface myInterface;

    public void methodA() {
        myInterface.methodA();
    }

    public int methodB() {
        return myInterface.methodB();
    }
}

Is it possible to accomplish the same with VS2010?
And with R#?

Thanks

With Resharper you can do this.

Generate Delegating Members

Delegating members provides a means to encapsulate some behavior or publish methods of a class’s field through the class’s own interface. Specify fields and their methods, and ReSharper will generate wrapping methods in the current class.

This is a great feature that we use all the time. There are a few ways to access it but what I do is hit ALT-INS which brings up the Generate context menu. A few items down on the list is Delegating members. Then you get a tree from which you select the fields (objects) you want to delegate to and which delegating properties/methods you want to create. Very quick and easy and works great.
