Question

I’m new to C# and have a question regarding classes. At the moment I use simple classes for example:

public class Core
{
   public double Parameter1;
   public double Parameter2;

   public double Calc1()
   {
      return(Parameter1 * Paramater2);
   }
}

In my main code I then create an object of the class, and use it as follows:

Core core = new Core();
core.Parameter1 = 2;
core.Parameter2 = 3;
double x = core.Calc1();

Now my question is, how do I structure classes to have for example the following functionalities:

core.Calculations.Calc1();
core.Calculations.Calc2();

At the moment I can only have core.Calc1() etc not core.Calculations.Calc1();

I use code such as the following many times from existing libraries, and I need to do the same:

zedDistVectorAAR.AccessibilityObject.Bounds.Bottom.CompareTo();

I have no idea how to structure such classes.

I have tried all types of classes from nested to everything in the book but I cannot get a structure such as the above one. Since it is used everywhere I’m missing something. I have really looked through many articles and books but my lack of formal IT education and lack of the correct terminologies are really getting me down.

For example what I want to do is I want to have a class, that can give me different price quotes:

double open = data.Financial.Open;
double close = data.Financial.Close;

How can I achieve this?

Any help will be appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

do you need to have that class instanced?
for example with

class something
{
    public class somethingnested
    {
        public class somethingtotalynested
        {
            public static string str;
        }
    }
}

you could get

something.somethingnested.somethingtotalynested.str = "";

otherwise you could do something like this

class something
    {
        public somethingnested sn;

        public class somethingnested
        {
            public somethingtotalynested stn;
            public class somethingtotalynested
            {
                public string str;
            }

            public somethingnested()
            {
                this.stn = new somethingtotalynested();
            }
        }

        public something()
        {
            this.sn = new somethingnested();
        }
    }

and acces str with

    sss.sn.stn.str = "";
