getter and setter for class in class c#

Question

Assuming we have a class InnerClass with attributes and getter/setter. We also have a class OuterClass containing the InnerClass.

e.g.

class InnerClass
{         


        

Answer 1

It depends on how the inner class should work. The outer class might need to "own" the inner class, in which case:

public InnerClass InnerClass{
  get{ return innerClass; }
  set{ innerClass.CopyFrom(value); /* Pseudo method call */ }
}

By doing it this way, you prevent outside code from manipulating the instance unless explicitly through OuterClass..
