In C#, interfaces have no default implementation. When one creates an interface, one normally cannot use the interface until there is a corresponding class. My automatic interface implementer creates classes at run-time that implement an interface.

This is a talk that I gave with Jeff Jones at the Santa Cruz Future Salon on November 18, 2007.

You can view it on the
Internet Archive or my own saved version.
