Forbid public Add and Delete for a List

Question

in my C#-project, I have a class which contains a List

public class MyClass
{
  public MyClass parent;
  public List children;
  ...
}
         


        

Answer 1

Beside of implementing your own IList you could return a ReadOnlyCollection.

public MyClass
{
    public MyClass Parent;

    private List children;
    public ReadOnlyCollection Children
    {
        get { return children.AsReadOnly(); }
    }
}
