Hi people!

Hmmm.... I understand that a programmer can use and reuse a class written in
other language. This other language must be a "extender" language.

This feature is based on IL code. The language A can inherits and extend a
class written in language B, because both relies on IL code to execute.

Then, C# is not the responsable of implement this feature. And, this feature
is not embeded in C# code. A separate source code must be written in another
language, and then reused in your project. In the same project, you can have
a source code written in C#, and a source code file written, say, in VB.Net.

For example, you can write the class library in VB.Net... or in ilasm.....
;-) ..... You can have an Account class written in C#, and extends it to
CreditAccount on VB.Net.

Hmm... I've seen some examples in the code of Wrox books..... www.wrox.com
