Is there a way to write interface-based code (i.e. using interfaces rather than classes as the types accepted and passed around) in C# without giving up the use of things like implicit casts? Here's some sample code - there's been a lot removed, but these are the relevant portions.

 public class Game
 {
     public class VariantInfo
     {
         public string Language { get; set; }
         public string Variant { get; set; }
     }
 }

And in ScrDictionary.cs, we have...

 public class ScrDictionary: IScrDictionary
 {
     public string Language { get; set; }
     public string Variant { get; set; }

     public static implicit operator Game.VariantInfo(ScrDictionary s)
     {
        return new Game.VariantInfo{Language=sd.Language, Variant=sd.Variant};
     }
 }

And the interface...

 public interface IScrDictionary
 {
     string Language { get; set; }
     string Variant { get; set; }
 }

I want to be able to use IScrDictionary instead of ScrDictionary, but still be able to implicitly convert a ScrDictionary to a Game.VariantInfo. Also, while there may be an easy way to make this work by giving IScrDictionary a property of type Game.VariantInfo my question is more generally: Is there a way to define casts or operator overloading on interfaces? (If not, what is the proper C# way to maintain this functionality without giving up interface-oriented design?)
