Rows

[shapper]

Hello,

I created a custom control, Parent, with the following property:

Property Rows As Generic.List(Of Row)

Row is another custom control that creates some code.

The problem is that I want to create different types of rows:
InputRow, CheckRow, ...

All rows render the same way, i.e., a div with content inside it. The
content in the div is different for each row.

Basically I would like to do something like:

Dim MyParent As Parent

MyParent.Rows.Add(MyNormalRow)

MyParent.Rows.Add(MyInputRow)

MyParent.Rows.Add(MyCheckRow)

....

What should be the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

Create a baseclass "Row" (probably needs to derive from "Control") and
derive InputRow, CheckRow, etc from that Row.

You can put common functions in the baseclass and special functions in
the various derived classes.

So by having my classes inherit from RowClass I then can add any of
the other classes directly in property of type Generic.List(Of Row).
Is this what you mean right?
