Implementing Two interface having the same method signature in the same class

There can be scenario when we would have two interface with the same method name and same type of arguments, same number of arguments and even the return type can be same and we need to implement both the interface in the same class. How to implement the interface in our class? Most of you will be thinking whats so tough in this, just implement the interface and the method and move on. If the signature of the methods in the interface were different then there would have been no problem but here the signature of the methods in two different interface are same and both the interfaces are gonna be implemented in the same class. The two interface are as below.

class Test 
{
    static void Main()
    {
        SampleClass sc = new SampleClass();
        IControl ctrl = (IControl)sc;
        ISurface srfc = (ISurface)sc;

        // The following lines all call the same method.
        sc.Paint();
        ctrl.Paint();
        srfc.Paint();
    }
}


interface IControl
{
    void Paint();
}
interface ISurface
{
    void Paint();
}
class SampleClass : IControl, ISurface
{
    // Both ISurface.Paint and IControl.Paint call this method.  
    public void Paint()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Paint method in SampleClass");
    }
}

// Output: 
// Paint method in SampleClass 
// Paint method in SampleClass 
// Paint method in SampleClass

From the above we have two interface with names IControl and ISurface and both have a single method named “Paint”. The signature of both the methods are same and we need to implement the interfaces in our class say “SampleClass”. One way of impelementing the interface is as shown above i.e. just having a “public” implementation of the interface method only once.

The above code implementation has got a limitation i.e the method “Paint” is considered to be a common method for all i.e common method for the class, and for the interfaces IControl and ISurface.

If you want to give different implementation to the methods in interface IControl and ISurface  what will you do? Its also simple, just have two impelementation of the same method and prefix the method names with the interface name as shown below.

public class SampleClass : IControl, ISurface
{
    void IControl.Paint()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("IControl.Paint");
    }
    void ISurface.Paint()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("ISurface.Paint");
    }
}
The class member IControl.Paint is only available through the IControl interface, and ISurface.Paint is only available through ISurface. Both method implementations are separate, and neither is available directly on the class. For example:
// Call the Paint methods from Main.
SampleClass obj = new SampleClass();
//obj.Paint();  // Compiler error.

IControl c = (IControl)obj;
c.Paint();  // Calls IControl.Paint on SampleClass.

ISurface s = (ISurface)obj;
s.Paint(); // Calls ISurface.Paint on SampleClass. 

// Output: 
// IControl.Paint 
// ISurface.Paint
