I want to create a number of classes. i was told to use nested classes. but im a bit unclear as to how to do this.
public class OuterClass

public class NestedClass
{
// Stuff for NestedClass
}// Other stuff for OuterClass}

Looking at my tables in my database, i have the followin tables: User(list of pc users), Logon(has date,user and pc), File(the file on that PC), PC, Group(the group to which that pc belongs). With these tables i want to generate reports. Ive started creating the class for User but now how do i go about creating the rest?
What has this got to do with nested classes? How you created the other classes? In the same way as you created the User class I would guess.

At the risk of hijacking the OP's question, what sort of problem maps more appopriately to a nested "composition" design? I just read one illustration that used a car and its engine as an example. They argued that composition, and a nested engine class, made sense, because a car cannot work without an engine. But this doesn't make much sense to me, as a car could have any number of types of engine or the engine could be removed completely (as happened to my car yesterday) and replaced.
Me: Can you see the "up" arrow? User:Errr...ummm....no. Me: Can you see an arrow that points upwards? User: Oh yes, I see it now! -Excerpt from a support call taken by me, 08/31/2007

Hi, you don't need nested classes: you can create all classes at the top level of some namespace. IF a class is to be used only inside some other class, then you CAN turn it into a nested class, and completely hide it from the outside world. That would offer a higher degree of encapsulation, at the risk that you sooner or later want to use the inner class independent of the containing class... :)

Ah, thanks Luc. The more I know about C# the less I know - and there's another mystery solved.

Maybe you mean linked classes? So as to follow the Relationships that exist (supposedly) between the database tables. If so then you probably want something like:
public class User { // Properties for the user... } public class PC { // Properties for the PC... } public class Logon { private User _user; public User User { get { return _user; } set { _user = value; } } private PC _pc; public PC PC { get { return _pc; } set { _pc = value; } } // Other properties of Logon...Kinda like that? -- modified at 15:38 Thursday 6th September, 2007Jason Hanford-Smith wrote:

I never said that - You are misquoting me. Your response should have been addressed to the OP.

Wow, I've never seen such a touchy bunch. Apologies... May I never put words in your mouth again.

I just think the CP regulars are starting to get a bit tired of bad subjects, posts for finished code, false quotations, students trying to take the easy road through programming lessons, multi posting, cross-posting, off-topic questions/answers and so on. We've all been growing a bit touchy I guess. :) -Larantz-

http://www.itverket.noThat's me finished one wall and I've cleaned up for the evening. Tomorrow I'll try and finish the rest of the hall. (Well, at least the first coat - The previous owners had a big brown rectangle painted on the wall, I think that area might require an extra coat because I can still see it, just.)
