Hiding object methods from Visual Studio for Fluent Interfaces

To hide instance object methods your interface needs to inherit from:

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

public interface IAmNotAnObject

{

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

Type GetType();

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

int GetHashCode();

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

string ToString();

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

bool Equals(object obj);

}

For static classes add the following code to your static classes:

#region Hide static object members

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

public new static bool Equals(object objA, object objB)

{

return object.Equals(objA, objB);

}

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

public new static bool ReferenceEquals(object objA, object objB)

{

return object.ReferenceEquals(objA, objB);

}

#endregion
