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

You don't need to reimplemented IList, just encapsulate a List in a class, and provide your own Add and Delete functions, that will take care of adding and setting the required properties.

You might have to create your own enumerator if you want to enumerate through the list though.
