How to reference parent in inline creation of objects?

Question

Let\'s say I have a parent/child-relationship ob objects and try to create a parent object inline (I\'m not really sure that\'s the right word). Is it possible to reference

Answer 1

You can't do this because an instance of Parent has not been created yet. If child requires an instance of Parent in it's constructor you must create one. Create an instance of Parent first, then Child passing in the parent to the Constructor, and then assign the instance of child to the property on Parent.

var parent = new Parent
{
  Name = "Parent",
  //More here...
};
var child = new Child(parent);
parent.Child = child;
