I must be doing something wrong

public interface IActor {     //actor stuff }  public class BaseShip : IActor {     //base ship stuff }  public class PlayerShip: BaseShip {     //Only the stuff for this particular ship }

Why then doesn’t this work:

IActor player = new PlayerShip();

Or

List<IActor> actors = new List<IActor>(){new PlayerShip()};

I get Cannot convert from [PlayerShip] to [IActor]

note: snipped code for brevity

Update

I accidently defined the interface in two different namespaces. Nothing more to it.

  1. Are you certain this is your structure? I copied and pasted your code and the actions compiled and ran fine for me.

    EDIT:

    You guys need to step back for a second…interfaces certainly do propogate down the chain of inheritance. You’re telling me that an inherited control doesn’t implement IDisposable?
