实现接口的每个类成员都导出一个语义上类似于VB的声明。NET接口声明被编写，例如:

Public Overridable Function Foo() As Integer Implements IFoo.Foo

尽管类成员的名称经常与接口成员的名称相匹配，而且类成员通常是public的，但这些都不是必需的。你也可以声明:

Protected Overridable Function IFoo_Foo() As Integer Implements IFoo.Foo

In which case the class and its derivatives would be allowed to access a class member using the name IFoo_Foo, but the outside world would only be able to access that particular member by casting to IFoo. Such an approach is often good in cases where an interface method will have specified behavior on all implementations, but useful behavior on only some [e.g. the specified behavior for a read-only collection's IList<T>.Add method is to throw NotSupportedException]. Unfortunately, the only proper way to implement the interface in C# is:

int IFoo.Foo() { return IFoo_Foo(); }
protected virtual int IFoo_Foo() { ... real code goes here ... }

没那么好。

除了已经提供的优秀答案之外，还有一些情况需要显式实现，以便编译器能够找出需要什么。以IEnumerable<T>为例，它可能会经常出现。

这里有一个例子:

public abstract class StringList : IEnumerable<string>
{
    private string[] _list = new string[] {"foo", "bar", "baz"};

    // ...

    #region IEnumerable<string> Members
    public IEnumerator<string> GetEnumerator()
    {
        foreach (string s in _list)
        { yield return s; }
    }
    #endregion

    #region IEnumerable Members
    IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return this.GetEnumerator();
    }
    #endregion
}

这里，IEnumerable<string>实现了IEnumerable，因此我们也需要。但是等等，泛型和普通版本都实现了具有相同方法签名的函数(c#对此忽略了返回类型)。这是完全合法的。编译器如何解决使用哪个?它迫使您最多只有一个隐式定义，然后它就可以解决它需要解决的任何问题。

ie.

StringList sl = new StringList();

// uses the implicit definition.
IEnumerator<string> enumerableString = sl.GetEnumerator();
// same as above, only a little more explicit.
IEnumerator<string> enumerableString2 = ((IEnumerable<string>)sl).GetEnumerator();
// returns the same as above, but via the explicit definition
IEnumerator enumerableStuff = ((IEnumerable)sl).GetEnumerator();

PS: IEnumerable的显式定义中有一点间接的作用，因为在函数内部，编译器知道变量的实际类型是StringList，这就是它解析函数调用的方式。实现一些抽象层，一些。net核心接口似乎已经积累起来了。

隐式接口实现是指具有与接口相同签名的方法。

显式接口实现是显式声明方法属于哪个接口的地方。

interface I1
{
    void implicitExample();
}

interface I2
{
    void explicitExample();
}


class C : I1, I2
{
    void implicitExample()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I1.implicitExample()");
    }


    void I2.explicitExample()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I2.explicitExample()");
    }
}

如果显式实现，则只能通过与接口类型相同的引用引用接口成员。实现类类型的引用不会公开这些接口成员。

如果实现的类不是公共的，除了用于创建类的方法(可以是工厂或IoC容器)，并且除了接口方法(当然)，那么我认为显式实现接口没有任何好处。

否则，显式实现接口将确保不使用对具体实现类的引用，从而允许您在以后更改该实现。“确保”，我想，是“优势”。一个分解良好的实现可以在没有显式实现的情况下完成这一点。

在我看来，缺点是您会发现自己在实现代码中对接口进行类型转换，而接口可以访问非公共成员。

就像许多事情一样，优势就是劣势(反之亦然)。显式实现接口将确保不会公开具体的类实现代码。

引用Jeffrey Richter从CLR通过c#编写的 (EIMI的意思是显式接口方法实现)

It is critically important for you to understand some ramifications that exist when using EIMIs. And because of these ramifications, you should try to avoid EIMIs as much as possible. Fortunately, generic interfaces help you avoid EIMIs quite a bit. But there may still be times when you will need to use them (such as implementing two interface methods with the same name and signature). Here are the big problems with EIMIs: There is no documentation explaining how a type specifically implements an EIMI method, and there is no Microsoft Visual Studio IntelliSense support. Value type instances are boxed when cast to an interface. An EIMI cannot be called by a derived type.

如果您使用接口引用，ANY虚链可以在任何派生类上显式地替换为EIMI，并且当这种类型的对象强制转换到接口时，您的虚链将被忽略，并调用显式实现。这根本不是多态性。

EIMIs还可以用于从基本框架接口的实现(如IEnumerable<T>)中隐藏非强类型接口成员，这样你的类就不会直接公开非强类型方法，但在语法上是正确的。
