Should I be using multiple base pages with inheritance or is there a better strategy?

Contrived Example:

Currently I have 20 webpages and they all use my base-page “BasePage”.

ie.) Page1 : BasePage

BasePage provides functions:

  • Function1()
  • Function2()
  • Function3()

Now I decide that 5 of my 20 webpages require the BasePage functions as well as 3 additional functions and a Page_Load():

  • Function4()
  • Function5()
  • Function6()
  • Page_Load()

Do I now create another base page like this:

MySecondBasePage : BasePage

and then put Function4(), Function5(), Function6() and Page_Load() in it?

Or is there a better/”proper” strategy to doing this? Should I be using classes?

    Yes.

    Inheritance is not just about re-use (since we have other ways to do that), but also about managing complexity. This is a nice simple hierarchy that (assuming your real names are a bit better than “SecondPageBase”) will help make it clear what is happening where, and why.
