Sometimes you might want to implement custom ImageList controls and encounter the fact that the .NET Windows Forms ImageList is marked as sealed. Instead of crying foul here, let's have a look at some of the reasons for this decision.
My latest article "Sealed is Good" shows you ...
- ... the reason for sealing ImageList.
- ... the reason why this is a good thing.
- ... the reason why unsealing it wouldn't help you at all.
- And finally, the reason why unsealing it would demand a complete rewrite of all of System.Windows.Forms.
Have fun!
