hello all, i have two base classes, one inherits from bindinglist<>
i need baseobject contains a generic reference to collection that contains it
class baseobject<T> : where T:baseobjectcol lection<baseobj ect<T>>
class baseobjectcolle ction<T> : BindingList<T> where
T:baseobject<ba seobjectcollect ion<T>>
i'm getting compile error with this. i'm not sure if it's a syntax error or
what i'm trying it's impossible, without generics of course not problem
class baseobject
{
private baseobjectcolle ction m_colRef;
}
thank you 6 1343

Your attempt looks way too complicated !!! :-)

You don't want a base object to be bound to a collection, you want it to
contain a collection
class BaseObject
{
private BindingList<Bas eObject> m_colRef;
...
}

thankyou but does not solve my problem
public class BaseObject
{
public BaseObjectColle ction<BaseObjec t> CollectionRef;
}
public class BaseObjectColle ction<T> : BindingList<T>
{
}
public class EmployeeCollect ion : BaseObjectColle ction<Employee>
{
}
public class Employee : BaseObject
{
public Employee()
{
EmployeeCollect ion emp = this.Collection Ref as EmployeeCollect ion;
// compile ERROR : invalid cast
}
}
i think this example best illustrates what i want
thankyou anyways

Sorry, but you are still over-engineering here and you are going to get
bitten by the covariance problems when you try to convert a
BindingList<Bas eObject> to BindingList<Emp loyee>; this simply won't work.
See many previous posts on covariance.
You don't need to subclass these generic classes, simply use them as they
are.
public class BaseObject
{
}
public class Employee : BaseObject
{
}
public class Company : BaseObject
{
private BindingList<Emp loyee> employees = new BindingList<Emp loyee>();
...
}
And I don't see why you would want to include a list of Employees in the
Employee class; this would mean that every single employee would also have a
list of *all* employees inside them ???

If I understand what you are trying to do, then you can do this with nested
classes (below); however, I should warn you that it will all go a bit freak
when you subclass - i.e. you can't really subclass the inner-class; anything
that inherits from BaseItem<T> will be stuck with the same collection
class - you can't really alter it.
Either class can be the inner; in this context I guess the collection is
less likely to change, so could sit on the inside? Personally, I'm not sure
that generics /nesting is the right answer here... perhaps the BaseItem
could have a BaseCollection reference, and then (on a class-by-class basis)
privide a "new OwnerCollection " implementation that casts this to the
correct collection type?
Marc
using System;
using System.Collecti ons.ObjectModel ;
using System.Componen tModel;
public class BaseItem<T> {
public T TypedValue; // only public for demo
public BaseCollection OwnerCollection ; // only public for demo
public class BaseCollection : BindingList<Bas eItem<T>> {
readonly Collection<Base Item<T>> items = new
Collection<Base Item<T>>();
}
}
public class SomeClass : BaseItem<int> { }
static class Program {
static void Main() {
SomeClass.BaseC ollection collection = new
SomeClass.BaseC ollection();
SomeClass item = new SomeClass();
item.TypedValue = 500;
collection.Add( item);
item.OwnerColle ction = collection;
}
}
thank you both of you
i need inheritance from both baseitem and baseitemcollect ion. so I think
best option is take away collection reference from baseitem object.
anyways, it's a reference to the collection, not the collection itself,
isn't it? so there's nothing bad with it about memory usage, i think
i do a lot of work inside an object, removing itself from it's owner
collection, counting items, accessing others ... but i think I can try
another approach without the collection reference.
anyways nested class solution is a good example
again, lot of thanks

public class BaseObject { public BaseObjectColle ction<BaseObjec t> CollectionRef; }

perhaps try instead:
public class BaseObject<T> where T : BaseObject
public class BaseObjectColle ction<T> : BindingList<T> where T :
BaseObject<T>
public class Employee : BaseObject<Empl oyee>
You'll have to decide in advance how specific your collections are...
You can get away with Employee, Manager, Salesperson all in a
EmployeeCollect ion, but then you won't be able to have a ManagerCollecti on
containing only Manager objects...
Because if Manager.Collect ionRef had type ManagerCollecti on, then you could
write
foreach (Manager m in CollectionRef)
but if it was really an EmployeeCollect ion, then some of the employees
aren't really managers.
If Manager.Collect ionRef has type EmployeeCollect ions, then you can't ever
store a Manager in a ManagerCollecti on, because although
foreach (Employee e in CollectionRef)
would be ok on a ManagerCollecti on,
CollectionRef.A dd(new SalesPerson())
would fail. public class EmployeeCollect ion : BaseObjectColle ction<Employee> { }
public class Employee : BaseObject {
public Employee() { EmployeeCollect ion emp = this.Collection Ref as EmployeeCollect ion; // compile ERROR : invalid cast }
}
