Say hello to polymorphism in VB6

May miss the most important aspect...of polymorphism. The ability to develop generic functions/methods/blocks of code that can process/handle any class that implements the interface. A real world example we created was an application monitoring application. We needed several different types of monitors (e.g. some to monitor SQL...

Software Design: The benefits of polymorphism with ColdFusion Components

ColdFusion Components CFCs are object-like constructs that became available to ColdFusion developers with the release of ColdFusion MX. While they aren't quite "true" objects, they do have many of the capabilities that objects in other languages have. One of these capabilities is polymorphism.Polymorphism means "many forms" in Greek. When used...

Learning C# 2005: Inheritance and Polymorphism

This paper focuses on specialization, which is implemented in C# through inheritance. This paper also explains how instances of more specialized classes can be treated as if they were instances of more general classes, a process known as polymorphism. This paper ends with a consideration of sealed classes, which cannot...

Typed Parametric Polymorphism for Aspects

This paper studies the incorporation of generic types in aspect languages. Since advice acts like method update, such a study has to accommodate the subtleties of the interaction of classes, polymorphism and aspects. Indeed, simple examples demonstrate that current aspect compiling techniques do not avoid runtime type errors. The paper...
