Question

I have 10 properties where when each is set it increments the value of variable Value. When the value of Value is 10, the app will end. But it seems to be awkward to write the same condition into each of them like this:

int Value=0;
int A
{
   set
   {
     a=value;
     Value++;
     if(Value>10) ... //check here
   }
}
int B
{
   set
   {
     b=value;
     Value++;
     if(Value>10)  //check here again
   }
}

How can I simplify checking its value?

Answer 1

private int counter;
private int b;
private int a;

public int A
{
    set 
    {
         counter++;
         a = value;
         CheckCounter();
    }
}

public int B    {
    set 
    {
         counter++;
         b = value;
         CheckCounter();
    }
}


public void CheckCounter()
{
     if (counter>10)
     {
         //Do something
     }
}

or make counter a property..

private int Counter
{
    set
    {
        counter = value;
        CheckCounter();
    }
    get
    {
        return counter;
    }
}

and use this when incrementing..

Counter++;
