How to use delegation?

Hi,
I'm using two form classes and I would like all methods of the second class
(the child class) to be managed by the first class (the main class).
Is delegation the best solution for me?
If so, how can I define delegation?

Thanks,

If you inherit child from main you will get all main methods automatically
in child, if I got your question right.

Why do you mention delegation? Do you have some specific example in mind
which made you consider delegation?

No. Inheritance would be the way to go.

Have Second inherit from First and both will do exactly the same thing
until you start overriding and changing Second.
If so, how can I define delegation?
Delegate methods (known in other languages as Function Pointers) are a
way for you to call a method at run-time without knowing anything about
it at compile time, other than it has a given signature.

Event handlers are all delegates under the covers - the Control that
raises the event (and calls your Event Handler [delegate] method) knows
nothing whatever about your class and yet it can still call your method!

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your answer.
My case is as follows:
The main form, opens the child form, nothing to do with inheritance.
I odn't want to dispose the inner class, the child. It means, instead of
calling childForm.fillC olor, I prefer to activate mainForm.FillCo lor which
activates the inner private fillColor.

Is delegate the best solution?

I believe that depends how you define "best"

If that's one property you can just call child property from code handling
change of main form property. No need for delegation.

If you want to implement this functionality for all properties of child
form, you need to look into reflection (see PropertyInfo.Se tValue at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ue(VS.71).aspx)

Again, I don't see the need for delegation. You can add method to child,
which could be called with property name and new value.

However, even in this case I would consider inheritance and put property
change handling method into base class (for child), in case you might need
different children with same behavior.

Does this answer your question?
