Hi everyone,
What is the best way to implement many-to-many relationship between objects?
Any examples or links are welcome!
Thank you,

The same way you would with a database, create an intermediate object that
relates the two objects.

That is a good question. In my case I have Parties that can be related to
other parties via a PartyRelation object. I made a decision to make the
relationships directional, so that one party actually owns the relationship.
In my case it is up to the application to create the link or destory it.

Sasha,
In addition to Solex's suggestion.
Simply have each object own (contain) a collection of the other object. This
collection could be any .NET collection, such as: an array, ArrayList,
HashTable, or a collection derived from CollectionBase or DictionaryBase.
If you are coming from a database, then the Association Table Mapping
Pattern may be more helpful. http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatal...leMapping.html
Hope this helps

I notice that lots of the GDI+ objects implement IDisposable:
SolidBrush, FontFamily, Font, etc.
If I don't explicitly call Dispose() on these guys after I'm done with
them, what is the downside? Is it just a longer/more frequent garbage
collection, or is it worse?
Personally, I allocate such temporary objects inside C#'s using
statement, but not everyone does this and I'm wondering what the
repurcussions could be.

Hi everyone,
I've written some code that contains a class, and I want to track the
number of instances of this class that have been created, eg.: "This
is number xx object created." What is the most commonly accepted
method to do this? By defining a separate "counter" class? Do I need
to use a reference/ references?
Cheers,

I have a primary table (containing basic contact information) and a
number of subsidiary tables (containing various additional information)
for employees.
Most of the subsidiary tables have a One-to-One relationship with the
primary table.
There is an exception. The employees attend various events and I have a
subsidiary table that tracks the Start Date and End Date of these
events.

In my ASP.NET app, I have a few pages that I want to be public (i.e.
accessible by everyone) and the rest private (user has to be signed in). In
the examples I've seen, the public files have been in the root folder with
it's own Web.config file and the private ones in a subfolder with a separate
Web.config file.
Must I necessarily use a subfolder to separate private from public files?
Could I maybe have them all in the same root folder...

How would I traverse through a namespace and determine all the object

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
