Creating a DynamicType in .NET implementing an interface but using member implementations from a base class

Question

I am attempting to generate a dynamic class implementing an interface, but where one or more of the members already exists in the base. I compiled the following code in C# a

Answer 1

The C# compiler actually emits different code for BaseType depending on whether your SubClass definition is in the same assembly or not. So if you just have this:

interface IStuff
{
    string Bob { get; }
}

public class BaseClass
{
    public string Bob
    {
        get { return "Bob"; }
    }
}

and then define SubClass in another C# project, then the compiler will actually emit an explicit interface implementation within it. This is because in this case, BaseClass.get_Bob will be defined as non-virtual, which means that it can't be used to satisfy the interface's contract.

See also Why are C# interface methods not declared abstract or virtual?, which explicitly discusses this oddity at the end of the answer.
