For any type that has a non-trivial
inheritance hierarchy, the synopsis is followed by a
“Hierarchy” section. This section
lists all of the supertype of the type, as well as any interfaces
implemented by those supertypes. It will also list any interfaces
implemented by an interface. In the hierarchy listing, arrows
indicate supertype to subtype relationships, while the interfaces
implemented by a type follow the type name in parentheses. For
example, the following hierarchy indicates that
System.IO.Stream
implements
IDisposable
and extends
MarshalByRefObject
, which itself extends
Object
:
System.Object → System.MarshalByRefObject →
System.IO.Stream(System.IDisposable)
If a type has subtypes, the “Hierarchy” section is followed by a “Subtypes” section that lists those subtypes. If an interface has implementations, the “Hierarchy” section is followed by an “Implementations” section that lists those implementations. While the “Hierarchy” section shows ancestors of the type, the “Subtypes” or “Implementations” section shows descendants.
