vb.net nested class' parent?

is there an implicitly-defined Parent property defined for a class that is
nested in another class? i'm looking to simplify my coding.

At this point, i've defined the class as so:

Class Item

Private _SubItem As New SubItem(Me)

'other properties and methods

Class SubItem

Private _Parent As Item

Public ReadOnly Property Parent As Item
Get
Return _Parent
End Get
End Property

Friend Sub New (value as Item)
_Parent=value
End Sub

'other stuff

End Class

End Class

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan

There isn't an implicit reference to the containing object. You will
need to pass that in yourself in your nested class's constructor.

Hi there, I'm learning Python at the moment and trying to grok the thinking behind it's scoping and nesting rules.

I've got a class in which I want to implement a property that operates like an indexer, for the various colors associated with the class.

With a single member function I couldn't...

I've almost completed building a Model-View-Controller but have run into a snag. When an event is fired on a form control I want to automatically updated the "connnected" property in the Model. This works fine if all of the properties are at the top (root level) of the model but I'd like to keep them in nested classes to organize them better. So, for example, part of my data model looks like this (simplified) : public class MainClass

Hi... Maybe I'm just being especially obtuse today, but I've been perplexed by how some of the protection levels have been working with nested classes in C#.

Originally, i'd hoped...
