Hello,
I am sanindra Kumar sunny. I have been working for one year as asp.net 3.5 developer. In c# we cannot inherit class from more than one class, that means multiple inheritance is not supported. Instead of that we can implement more than one interface. To do multiple inheritance I would like to ask why c# doesn't support multiple inheritance?

It's not that C# can't support multiple inheritance, it's that the C#
developers chose not to support it.
There is a history of overly-complex situations that arise from MI that
easily lead to issues with ambiguous name resolutions as well as weak
inheritance trees, where the design becomes unmaintainable and/or unusable.
