Top-level declaration for type System.String is incomplete

[RexJaeschke]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The top-level declaration for type System.String is, as follows:

public sealed class String : ICloneable, IComparable, IComparable<string>,
IConvertible, IEquatable<string>, IParsable<string>, ISpanParsable<string>, 
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<char>

However, interface System.Collections.IEnumerable needs to be added as well. This interface is listed in the "Implements" list immediately following, and it is in the type's source code.

@huangmin-ms I see that System.Collections.IEnumerable is listed in the ilasm signature, but not the C# signature. Why is that?

  <TypeSignature Language="C#" Value="public sealed class String : ICloneable, IComparable, IComparable&lt;string&gt;, IConvertible, IEquatable&lt;string&gt;, IParsable&lt;string&gt;, ISpanParsable&lt;string&gt;, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable&lt;char&gt;" FrameworkAlternate="net-10.0;net-8.0;net-9.0" />
  <TypeSignature Language="ILAsm" Value=".class public auto ansi sealed beforefieldinit string extends System.Object implements class System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1&lt;char&gt;, class System.Collections.IEnumerable, class System.ICloneable, class System.IComparable, class System.IComparable`1&lt;string&gt;, class System.IConvertible, class System.IEquatable`1&lt;string&gt;, class System.IParsable`1&lt;string&gt;, class System.ISpanParsable`1&lt;string&gt;" FrameworkAlternate="net-10.0;net-8.0;net-9.0" />
