I don't know what's with all the down votes, but like @Mr Programmer mentioned, IContainer is an interface. .NET uses the "I" prefix convention to indicate this. The reason you can't instantiate an interface is because it doesn't have an implementation. Classes derived from from the interface provide the implementation, which is the purpose of interfaces-- It provides a common means of interaction amongst various container classes.

interface can be initialized like this. example interface test{ //...... code } class a:test{ ///.... code } test cont = new a(); you cannot write this test cont = new test();
