Implement C# property in interface

[jepessen]

I want to implement a property in a C# interface, so when I generate the code I obtain something like:

Code: [Select]

public interface IMyInterface
{
   string MyString { get; set; }
}
and in inherited classes:

Code: [Select]

public class MyClass : IMyInterface
{
   public string MyString { get; set; }
}
I've tried to add as attributes of interface my properties



But when I generate the interface I obtain the following code:

Code: [Select]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;



namespace MyNamespace {
public interface IMyInterface  {

}//end IMyInterface

}//end namespace MyNamespace
What's the correct way to implement properties in interfaces?

Did you try selecting a property on the dialog and fill up the Property field?

This is what I set now:



And now this is the interface in EA:



And this is the code:

Code: [Select]

namespace VCS {
  public interface Repository  {

  string Remote{
    get;
    set;
  }
}//end Repository

}//end namespace VCS
The code seems correct now, thanks. But since it's the first time, I'd like to know if it's correct the UML class representation for the property, since I see the property twice.

You don't see it twice. The upper is the property (the "storage") and the lower is the method you access it (it's marked with a <<property>> stereotype). This way the code generator knows that it must spit out the get/set. For different target languages the code will look different. Some languages even don't have explicit getter/setters.

Ok now I understand. Thanks for the explanation.
