Jon, I think I am still missing something. Here's the gist of the code ...
please lookout for the comments for the questions I have. Thank you very much
for your help.
The function below is the <publicclass.
public string TargetDB
{
get { return xTargetDB; }
set
{
xTargetDB = value.ToUpper();
switch (xTargetDB)
{
case "ORACLE":
{
TDB = new ORACLE();
break;
}
default:
{
TDB = new SQLSERVER();
break;
}
}
}
}
public string xyz()
{
// I expected test() to be exposed below but it isn't
return TDB.ToString() ; // I used ToString() just to have the
project compile
// I want to be able to run this statement: return TDB.test() ;
// HOW?
}
ORACLE and SQLSERVER are the subservient classes:
this is ORACLE.CS
sing System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ACM
{
internal class ORACLE
{
internal string test()
{
return "Oracle";
}
}
}
this is SQLSERVER.CS
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ACM
{
internal class SQLSERVER
{
internal string test()
{
return "SQLServer";
}
}
}
I am using a WindowsApplication to test the class library:
namespace ACMTESTER
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
Main CI = new ACM.Main();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CI.TargetDB = "ORACLE";
MessageBox.Show(CI.xyz());
}
}
