How to Expose Children... [modified]
-
Hello all... If you had a parent object and wanted to expose its children from persistent storage, would you do it by exposing the children as if the parent was a List or just a few methods for getting the count and a range of child objects... or is there another method I might not be aware of. The children must be editable and retain their data in persistent storage. Secondly, if you were to have a function that did something like "Take money from parent and give to child" would you put this function on the parent, child or as a static function?

Wow, this is a tough call. I have to admit, I'm having difficulty debating on whether or not I see this as a programming question. :laugh: I have to lean towards yeah because it's a direct question and not so much a general idea. With that being the case, I shall use one of my more traditional responses and that is to be a smart arse. Enjoy...

If parents are trying to kick the kid out of the house (what's he's like 30 now) then I suggest they give him a List of bills to pay.

I am not sure I understand your analogy. The list of bills to pay could be thousands of items long and each could be several pages. In my example, it is an outside source asking the parent to divulge how many children it has and then allowing the outside source to get one or more of them in a range.

In the two first lines I thought that it was something very strange between a father and a son, but then I realized that this is a PROGRAMMING QUESTION! This can be incredible! let's see how long will become this tread... FLAMES ON YOU! ja ja ja ja! :rolleyes:

Hey it's the holidays, so... You'll probably get better responses in the Visual C++[^] forum.

nice way to raise your children 1!! I would teach them that the trashcan ( and more so if there is a garbage collector ) is not a persistent storage, and that the drawers are persistent objects; and that friends do not offer help in this matter.

There's also a C# forum too. In all seriousness, you'll get your best replies there.

Christian, Jeremy is making fun of you. It looks like you're new here, so let me tell you that this is a general forum and programming questions are NOT allowed. Please use the Message Boards link to choose the language forum you want (C++, C#, etc). You will get much better responses there. :) PS: I thought this was a father-son discussion or something like that when I read the subject. :laugh:
Cheers, Vikram.

Whoah - that title makes me think of Gary Glitter. This type of thing should not be allowed.
