Implementing IList<T> in F#

Question
I have looked all over SO and internet but still cannot figure out what I'm missing and how to implement generic IList interface in F# for such type:
type OrCondition() as self =
inherit Condition()
member val Conditions: List<Condition> = new List<Condition>() with get, set
interface IList<Condition> with
member this.Item
with get(index) = self.Conditions.[index]
and set(index)(value) = self.Conditions.[index] <- value
member this.IndexOf item = self.Conditions.IndexOf(item)
member this.Insert(index, item) = self.Conditions.Insert(index, item)
member this.RemoveAt(index) = self.Conditions.RemoveAt(index)
member this.Count with get() = self.Conditions.Count
member this.IsReadOnly with get() = false
member this.Add(item) = self.Conditions.Add(item)
member this.Clear() = self.Conditions.Clear()
member this.Contains(item) = self.Conditions.Contains(item)
member this.CopyTo(conditions, index) = self.Conditions.CopyTo(conditions, index)
member this.Remove(item) = self.Conditions.Remove(item)
member this.GetEnumerator() = (Seq.cast<Condition> self.Conditions).GetEnumerator()
Right now compiler complains that I haven't implemented Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() and I know it, but I really don't know how to do it.
Update: Final result below. Great thanks to Mr. Garland. Also, worth to point out that I have referenced only System.Collections.Generic and forgot to reference System.Collection when non-generic version of IEnumerable reside. So sad ReSharper doesn't support F#.
open System.Collections
open System.Collections.Generic
type OrCondition() as self =
inherit Condition()
member val Conditions = new List<Condition>() with get, set
interface IList<Condition> with
member this.Item
with get(index) = self.Conditions.[index]
and set(index)(value) = self.Conditions.[index] <- value
member this.IndexOf item = self.Conditions.IndexOf(item)
member this.Insert(index, item) = self.Conditions.Insert(index, item)
member this.RemoveAt(index) = self.Conditions.RemoveAt(index)
member this.Count with get() = self.Conditions.Count
member this.IsReadOnly with get() = false
member this.Add(item) = self.Conditions.Add(item)
member this.Clear() = self.Conditions.Clear()
member this.Contains(item) = self.Conditions.Contains(item)
member this.CopyTo(conditions, index) = self.Conditions.CopyTo(conditions, index)
member this.Remove(item) = self.Conditions.Remove(item)
member this.GetEnumerator() = self.Conditions.GetEnumerator() :> IEnumerator<Condition>
member this.GetEnumerator() = self.Conditions.GetEnumerator() :> IEnumerator
Solution
This is because IList
has two GetEnumerator
methods, one for the IEnumerable<T>
interface and one for the non-generic IEnumerable
interface.
You could add this member to implement IEnumerable
member this.GetEnumerator() = (this.Conditions :> IEnumerable).GetEnumerator()
OTHER TIPS
The simplest way is
interface System.Collections.IEnumerable with
member this.GetEnumerator() = this.Conditions.GetEnumerator() :> _
