How do you find all implementations of an interface?
12 answers
Is there a quick way to find all of the implementations of, not references to, an interface's method/property/etc? Here's some sample code:
public class SomeClass : IBaseClass
{
public Int32 GetInt()
{
return 1;
}
}
public interface IBaseClass
{
public Int32 GetInt();
}
public class SomeOtherClass
{
IBaseClass _someClass;
private TestMethod()
{
_someClass = new SomeClass();
_someClass.GetInt();
}
}
I want to quickly get to SomeClass.GetInt() while reviewing SomeOtherClass.TestMethod(). If I right click on _someClass.GetInt() and click 'Go To Definition', it takes me to the interface. If I click 'Find All References', I could potentially see a list of all uses ... not just the classes that implement the GetInt() method.
Is there a faster way to find this? Any tips from other developers? We are using D.I. for most of our dependencies, which means that tracing through deeply nested code takes forever.
Since I don't like to use the mouse while coding, I usually
- move the cursor over the method
- type ctrl+k clrl+t to open the Call Hierarchy window
- move down to Implements node.
- type Return to go to the selected implementation
AFAIK this is the quickest way to find the implementation of a method, without ReSharper.
(By the way: you can use the same system to move from a class method implementation to the corresponding interface declaration: just select the root)
Alt-End will do this in ReSharper, I believe.
Without ReSharper the best way to do this is:
Find in files (Ctrl+Shift+F)
Find What: "class*ISomeClass"
Find Options: "Use Wildcards"
This will find all implementation and than you can search for your function in a concrete implementation.
you could try going with this plugin:

If your interface is in the same library as your concrete model that you'll typically want to navigate to, you could add a 'using alias' to the concrete object. 'Usings' are helpers anyhow, and this helps.
using System;
using PrimaryImplementation = YourNamespace.YourConcreteObject;
public interface IYourInterface{
}
When you're taken to the interface, you have a quick (and dirty) way of getting to the primary implementation of your interface. F12->F12!
R# has a Go to Implementation option on the pop-up menu, which is really handy for that.
