C# Class library call automatic function or class in other project

Question

I Have a class library ,that referenced to some WPF Projects.

I have a function or class in my class library, also I have function or class in WPF applications with same name.

I want when I call function in my class library , it automatic call (or use) function in WPF application.

Answer 1

Hopefully the shared class library uses a different namespace. Then just use the fully qualified method name.

If for some reason they have the same namespace, then you can not include the library in the build. You will need to load at runtime and use reflection.

Answer 2

For example, you can define an abstract class that does not have a specific definition of GetName function:

// In Class Library:

public abstract class ClassA
{
    // . . .

    public void SomeFunction()
    {
        GetName( );
    }

    protected abstract void GetName( );
}

Then you can override it, providing the implementation that is suitable for the first WPF application:

// In First WPF application:

public class FirstWPFClassA : ClassA
{
    protected override void GetName( )
    {
        // . . .
    }
}

The second application will give another implementation.

It is also possible to use delegates and interfaces.
