Hi All, quick question on Interface inheritance, if a base class inherits from an Interface, do any subclasses automatically inherit from the Interface ?, the reason I ask is, my class hierarchy is as shown below but I receive compiler warnings about my subclasses hiding methods defined in the base class

 public interface ICMSTabPage
 {
    int LoadPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e);
    void ChangeDisplay(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e);
    void ClearPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e);
 }

/* Implement the interface methods. So far so good.*/
public abstract class PJKTabCMS : BCCI.Controls.PJKBaseTabPage,ICMSTabPage
{
    public int LoadPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
        return 0;
    }

    public void ChangeDisplay(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
    }

    public void ClearPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
    }
}

/* I then subclass PJKTabCMS

and receive a compiler warning


public class PJKTabCMSPaymentDetails : PJKTabCMS
{
 
    public int LoadPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
          
    }

    public void ChangeDisplay(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
         
    }

    public void ClearPageData(object sender, CMSMasterEventArgs e)
    {
    
    }
    }
}

/* Compiler warning text

If I mark the interface methods in my base class as virtual and override them in the subclasses the compiler would probably stop complaining, but then, I might as well use abstract classes and cut out the interface - am I missing somehing here ?
