.NET C# Explicit implementation of grandparent's interface method in the parent interface -

that title's mouthful, isn't it?...

here's i'm trying do:

public interface ibar {      void bar(); } public interface ifoo: ibar {     void foo(); } public class fooimpl: ifoo {     void ifoo.foo()   { /* works expected */ }     //void ifoo.bar() { /* i'd this, doesn't compile */ }      //so i'm forced use instead:     void ibar.bar()   { /* compile */ } } 

my problem it's... inconvenient call bar():

ifoo myfoo = new fooimpl(); //myfoo.bar(); /* doesn't compile */ ((ibar)myfoo).bar(); /* works, it's not obvious                          fooimpl ibar */ 

so... there way declare ifoo.bar(){...} in class, other merging 2 interfaces one?

and, if not, why?

it's possible use new keyword in interface explicitly hide member declared in interface extends:

public interface ibar {     void bar(); }  public interface ifoo:ibar {     void foo();     new void bar(); }  public class class1 : ifoo {     void bar(){}      void ifoo.foo(){}      void ifoo.bar(){}      void ibar.bar(){} }
