Variable visibility in subclasses...

[devzav]

Hi all! I have a class like this: class A { private string strA; private B mySubclass = new B(); ... class B { public B() { string strB = strA // <--- this } } } Is there a way to make strA visible only for class B and not for other classes? If not can you suggest a workaround to do that? Thank you. Luca

You could... pass a reference to your strA to class B through its constructor. Or, you could probably do something with delegates. I must check up on delegates one day. :rolleyes:

Thank you! I thought to do that too. It seems to be the simplest way to obtain that I asked :)

Hope that helps! Luca Do rate the reply, if it helps or even if it doesnot, because it helps the members to know, what solved the issue. Thanks!

If it actually was a subclass, you could just make the string protected. As B is not a subclass at all, you can't do that. You have to pass a reference to the instance of the class.

Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Thank you for the answer! And how can I do to make B a "real" subclass?

Inherit from the A class:

class B : A {
...
}

I need the "like subclass" :) I used in the example. So I'll pass a reference to B. Thank you very much for your answer!
