(C#)interface with virtual method

I need a interface objectIMyInterface obj;that can swallow all classes object that inherit from it, as my sample code that are working well but inside I need implement function I don't need because IMyInterface require it, I try these two ways but both failed:

  1. create virtual class MethodThatNotBelongToUsAll{} and try class ClassA_wrap : ClassA, MethodThatNotBelongToUsAll, IMyInterface but receive error class 'ClassA_wrap' cannot have multiple base classes

  2. change interface IMyInterface to virtual class IMyInterface{} but the line obj = new ClassA_wrap(); show error cannot implicitly convert type "ClassA_wrap" to "IMyInterface"

can anyone help me with this? thx!

    interface IMyInterface
    {
        int Foo0 { get; }    //ClassA,B,C method
        int FooWrap(int F);  //ClassA_wrap,B_wrap,C_wrap method

        int FooA(int F);    // ClassA method
        int FooB(int F);    // ClassB method
        int FooC(int F);    // ClassC method
    }

    class ClassA                //Base Class, can't edit
    {
        public int Foo0{ get { return 1; } }
        public int FooA(int F) { return F; }
    }

    class ClassB                //Base Class, can't edit
    {
        public int Foo0 { get { return 2; } }
        public int FooB(int F) { return F; }
    }

    class ClassC                //Base Class, can't edit
    {
        public int Foo0 { get { return 3; } }
        public int FooC(int F) { return F; }
    }

    class ClassA_wrap : ClassA, IMyInterface
    {
        public int FooB(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooC(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooWrap(int F) 
        {
            return FooA(F)*10+1;
        }
    }

    class ClassB_wrap : ClassB, IMyInterface
    {
        public int FooA(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooC(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooWrap(int F)
        {
            return FooB(F)*20+2;
        }
    }

    class ClassC_wrap : ClassC, IMyInterface
    {
        public int FooA(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooB(int F) { return -1; }     // I want to get rid of this line, but Interface require to imp this...
        public int FooWrap(int F)
        {
            return FooC(F)*30+3;
        }
    }

    class MainClass
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            IMyInterface obj;                 //I need IMyInterface object that can swallow all three classes depend on flag

            int flag = 2; // or 1 or 3

            if(flag==1)
                   obj = new ClassA_wrap();
            else if(flag==2)
                   obj = new ClassB_wrap();
            else
                   obj = new ClassC_wrap();


            //-----------------------------------------
            Console.WriteLine(    obj.Foo0);
            //-----------------------------------------
            if(obj is ClassA_wrap)
                Console.WriteLine(obj.FooA(11));
            if (obj is ClassB_wrap)
                Console.WriteLine(obj.FooB(22));
            if (obj is ClassC_wrap)
                Console.WriteLine(obj.FooC(33));
            //-----------------------------------------
            Console.WriteLine(obj.FooWrap(1));

            Console.Read();
        }
    }

Read it over here : Interface Segregation Principle

i think you need to look one of SOLID whichis I: interface segregation principle

this principle says that create seperate interce if you are having method in interface, which you calss is not going to implement.

i suggest design like this 

public interface IMasterInterface
{  
      //contains all common method 
      int Foo0 { get; }    //ClassA,B,C method
      int FooWrap(int F);  //ClassA_wrap,B_wrap,C_wrap method
}

public interface IFooA 
{
   //contians method related to A only
     int FooA(int F);    // ClassA method
}

public interface IFooB 
{
   //contians method related to B only
     int FooB(int F);    // ClassA method
}

public class A : IFooA,IMasterInterface
{
   //common method 
   //now this will have method related to A only7
}

public class B: IFooB,IMasterInterface
{
  //common method
  //now this will have method related to B only 
}
