.NET Nested Classes

Question

The current class library I am working on will have a base class (Field) with over 50 specific \"field\" types which will inherit from \"Field\" and nested for maintain readabil

Answer 1

Sounds like you wanted something like:

abstract class Field
{
    public int Length { get; set; }
}

public class FieldA : Field
{
    public static void DoSomething()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Did something.");
    }
}

Otherwise you're defining a base class with an inner class in it, which inheritorrs will also get. So when you inherit from the outer class to make the inner class, you're starting a loop.
