Conception question

Hello everybody
I'm facing something maybe trivial but I cannot found the solution.
Here is the situation:
I want to code three web visual components that will all inherit from
the same base class called FormItem (abstract)
A FormItem has an Id, a Parent (which is a form item also), a Form
Item child collection, a Type (literal), a sort tag and some other
properties. This base class is built with two other classes
(FormItemEnumer ator and FormItemList) to provide access to the child
collection.
The three derivated classes will be named Page, Group, Question. A
page can contain groups and questions, a group can only contain
questions.
All the properties are saved to a Sql database in the FormItem class
so that data can be retrieve later. Each visual component will be able
to support postback events.

What is the best way to code this? Should I code all my classes and
then create the visual components based on those classes or should I
start creating the visual components directly derivating from my main
class?
I have some difficulties to separate the presentation, the events, the
base objects themselves, the persistence of the objects during
postback events, and the DB access to save/retrieve data

If you have already faced such an issue or if you have a good example,
please help me :)

Regards
Philippe

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
