Edit Question
Title
Body
For a very long time I was curious about the following: int[] array = new int[1]; int iArrayLength = array.Length; //1 Since arrays implement the IList interface, the following is allowed: int iArrayCount = ((IList<int>)array).Count; //still 1 BUT: int iArrayCount = array.Count; //Compile error. WHY? int iArrayLength = array.Length; //This is what we learned at school! The question: How can an array implement IList<T> (especially the int Count { get; } property from IList<T> ) without allowing it to be used on the base class?
