    <p>I know the difference between interface and abstract class. Now I would like to know where exactly i need to use interface over abstract class, vice versa.</p> <p>The article i referred <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/scsyfw1d%28v=vs.71%29.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>Recommendations for Abstract Classes vs. Interfaces</code></a></p> <p>In that</p> <p>Here are some recommendations to help you to decide whether to use an interface or an abstract class to provide polymorphism for your components.</p> <blockquote> <ol> <li><p>If you anticipate creating multiple versions of your component, create an abstract class. Abstract classes provide a simple and easy way to version your components. By updating the base class, all inheriting classes are automatically updated with the change. Interfaces, on the other hand, cannot be changed once created. If a new version of an interface is required, you must create a whole new interface.</p></li> <li><p>If the functionality you are creating will be useful across a wide range of disparate objects, use an interface. Abstract classes should be used primarily for objects that are closely related, whereas interfaces are best suited for providing common functionality to unrelated classes.</p></li> <li><p><strong>If you are designing small, concise bits of functionality, use interfaces. If you are designing large functional units, use an abstract class.</strong></p></li> <li><p>If you want to provide common, implemented functionality among all implementations of your component, use an abstract class. Abstract classes allow you to partially implement your class, whereas interfaces contain no implementation for any members.</p></li> </ol> </blockquote> <p>I am not sure about the point #3. Do i need to place all the small functions of my component into interface? </p> <p><em><strong>Any real world/understandable example which will help me to choose each?</em></strong></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
