Murach's Visual Basic 2008
How to work with interfaces and generics

Although a Visual Basic class can inherit only one class, it can implement one or more interfaces. So in this chapter, you'll learn how to create and implement a Visual Basic interface. You'll also learn how to use generics so you can code your own collections that work like the typed collections from the .NET Framework presented in chapter 8. Along the way, you'll learn how to work with the generic interfaces that are used with generic collections.
