Question

I get this error message and I can’t figure out why!

Error   1   'Exo5Chap12.ShortCollection<T>' does not implement interface member 
'System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()'. 
'Exo5Chap12.ShortCollection<T>.GetEnumerator()' cannot implement 
'System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()' because it does not have the matching 
return type of 'System.Collections.IEnumerator'.    
E:\MyFolders\Dev\c#\Chapter12\Exo5Chap12\Exo5Chap12\exo5.cs 9   18  Exo5Chap12

Here is the code with an implementation of GetEnumerator().
What is wrong?

 public class ShortCollection<T> : IList<T>
{
    protected Collection<T> innerCollection;
    protected int maxSize = 10;
    public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator()
    {
        return (innerCollection as IEnumerator<T>).GetEnumerator();
    }
}

Answer 1

IEnumerable and IEnumerable<T> are different interfaces and your code has to implement both. Your code only implements the GetEnumerator() of IEnumerable<T>, but not GetEnumerator() of IEnumerable. You should consider installing ReSharper which makes it easy to fix errors like this one.
