re-mix is an open-source library (LGPL) to bring the mixin technology to C# and Visual Basic.NET.
History
.NET does not offer multiple inheritance.[1] Nevertheless, in some use cases multiple inheritance support would be helpful for .NET applications. In languages such as Ruby these use cases were solved with mixins.[2]
The company rubicon created a mixin library for the Microsoft .NET Framework [3] to add multiple inheritance to their own applications.
The mixin library became part of the open source framework re-motion. In March 2011, re-mix has been published on CodePlex as spin-off project of re-motion. It was later re-incorporated into re-motion after CodePlex was discontinued in 2017.
