Explain the OOP Interface implementation in CSharp and dotnet 6 framework, and how to use it with a

In Object-oriented Programming (OOP), an interface defines a contract. Any class or struct that implements that contract must provide an implementation of the members defined in the interface.

In C#, the interface is created using the interface keyword. It contains only the declaration of methods, properties, events, or indexers. The implementation is provided in a class or struct that implements the interface.

Here's an example of the "IDependencies" interface that will be used for Azure authentication:

public interface IDependencies
{
    string ClientId { get; }
    string ClientSecret { get; }
    // .. add other necessary properties
}

Now create a class that implements the IDependencies interface:

public class AzureAuthentication : IDependencies
{
    public string ClientId { get; private set; }
    public string ClientSecret { get; private set; }

    public AzureAuthentication(string clientId, string clientSecret)
    {
        this.ClientId = clientId;
        this.ClientSecret = clientSecret;
    }

    //Add Azure authentication logic here
}

The AzureAuthentication class is providing the specific implementation of IDependencies interface. Through this setup, the azure authentication components are abstracted.

In the Program.cs file you can use the IDependencies for Azure authentication:

class Program
{
    private static IDependencies _azureAuth;

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string clientId = "your-client-id";
        string clientSecret = "your-client-secret";

        _azureAuth = new AzureAuthentication(clientId, clientSecret);

        //Use _azureAuth for azure services...
    }
}

The example above shows how to define an interface and a class that implements it for authenticating to Azure using ClientID and ClientSecret.

In .NET 6, you can also register your dependencies in Program.cs using the IServiceCollection interface and use the built-in dependency injection to inject your dependencies where needed.

Please note that for authenticating to Azure, usually an AzureCredential class from Azure.Identity library is used instead and enough to initialize it with values from, for example, the environment (if you want to be more secure and do not want to store such data in your application). But the principle of implementing an interface would remain the same.
