Derive from a base class and overriding base methods with generics

[<AbstractClass>]

Calling a base class method

        ()

           

type Dog() =

    inherit Animal()

    member this.Run() =

        // Run

        base.Rest()

 

// Usage:

let brian = new Dog()

brian.Run()

public class Animal

Implementing an interface

                this.y * this.y); }

    }

    public IVector Scale(double s)

    {

        return new Vector(this.x * s,

            this.y * s);

    }

}

 

// Usage:

IVector v = new Vector(1, 2);

IVector w = v.Scale(0.5);

double mag = w.Mag;

Implementing an interface with object expressions

type ICustomer =

    abstract Name : string with get

    abstract Age : int with get

       

let CreateCustomer name age =

    { new ICustomer with

        member this.Name = name

        member this.Age = age

    }

 

// Usage:

let c = CreateCustomer "Snoopy" 16

let d = CreateCustomer "Garfield" 5

N/A. C# does not support creating object expressions.

Events

    inherit EventArgs()

    member this.Message = msg

 

type BarkDelegate =

    delegate of obj * BarkArgs -> unit

 

type Dog() =

    let ev = new Event<BarkDelegate, BarkArgs>()

    member this.Bark(msg) =

        ev.Trigger(this, new BarkArgs(msg))

    [<CLIEvent>]

    member this.OnBark = ev.Publish

 

// Usage:

let snoopy = new Dog()

snoopy.OnBark.Add(

    fun ba -> printfn "%s" (ba.Message))

snoopy.Bark("Hello")

public class BarkArgs : EventArgs

{

    private string msg;

    public BarkArgs(string msg)

    {

        this.msg = msg;

    }

    public string Message

    {

        get { return this.msg; }

    }

}

 

public delegate void BarkDelegate(

    Object sender, BarkArgs args);

 

class Dog

{

    public event BarkDelegate OnBark;

    public void Bark(string msg)

    {

        OnBark(this, new BarkArgs(msg));

    }

}

 

// Usage:

Dog snoopy = new Dog();

snoopy.OnBark += new BarkDelegate(

    (sender, msg) =>

        Console.WriteLine(msg.Message));

snoopy.Bark("Hello");

Explicit class constructor

type Vector =

    val mutable x : float

    val mutable y : float

    new() = {x = 0.; y = 0.}

    In "Member functions" in the C# code the member function scale returns a double? Shouldn't it return a Vector?
